Question about redundancy
Discussion
Having been made redundant on 27th November, I am still awaiting my reference and redundancy letter, along with redundancy pay of 1 week.
Is it normal for it to take this long to arrive? I was told I will recieve the letters in a few days, from an email last week from a manager at the company in question.
Is there a scenario where I may not be entitled to redundancy pay? I was on probabation from September-December, and was told I will be made redundant on that day (27th).
Thanks

This isnt my area but I think you need clarification from them. I understood that statutary redundancy payments only kick in after a year of employment. It may be that your contract of employment entitles you to something anyway though.
If they are simply not keeping you on after your probation period then you may not get anything.
I would suggest a good read of your contract and offer letter.

My contract only really says I am entitled to my benefits/salary during my garden leave period (I was made redundant and was at home from the next day onwards). I am still bind to the contract, though, during my garden leave period. Pay is on 25th of every month, although given the month we are in now, and the time of the year, pay was proposed to be before (don't know when though).If they are simply not keeping you on after your probation period then you may not get anything.

It's not a case of simply not being kept on. I performed well so if the economy was different I would be there. As my boss said, it is more due to the company than the employee (me).

I suspect you will get it on your normal pay day in the month!
Did you get the right amount of notice?
A period of consultation before the formal redundancy letter?
Worth checking it was all done right or you could be in for £££££!
No formal letter as of yet. Interestingly, despite all the ID I gave my employer on my first day on the job, my contact details were not correct.Did you get the right amount of notice?

No notice. I had a 1-2-1 (only knew a few hours in advance as it was an Outlook appointment), was told I was being made redundant because of trading conditions, and how the company is focusing on core business and not what I provided, etc. Perhaps this 1-2-1 is the period of consultation?
