Update 51 - The report states that ‘on the grounds of fairness, the Government has decided to introduce a one-off increase in statutory redundancy pay and compensation payments to help those being made redundant without placing undue burdens on employers and the Exchequer’.

The statutory redundancy pay calculator (which is also known as the ‘Ready Reckoner’) is a useful tool to working out the redundancy pay due to a particular employee. You enter the particular employee’s age, length of service (maximum of 20) and weekly pay (the present maximum being £350) and the ready reckoner calculates the redundancy pay due.

You can access the Ready Reckoner by clicking here.
