Change statutory redundancy pay to include partial years of service — 18 signatures. Status: open.
We want the Government to amend the rules for statutory redundancy pay so that, once an employee qualifies for statutory redundancy pay, completed months of continuous employment are included on a pro-rata basis instead of only complete years of service being counted.
Statutory redundancy pay only counts complete years of employment. This can unfairly disadvantage someone dismissed shortly before a service anniversary, as almost a full year's additional service is ignored. We believe completed months should be counted pro rata, creating a fairer system that better reflects actual length of service, recognises employees' full contribution and reduces the disproportionate impact that the timing of a termination can have on redundancy pay.
