Redundancy Termination Letters - With and Without Notice Period

If you have decided redundancies need to be made and which roles will be made redundant the next important step is to tell employees, in writing, of your redundancy decision.

Dependent upon your business requirements and whether there is sufficent current work for redundant employees, you may wish to:
1) Ask an employee to work their employment notice period.
2) Let the employee go straight away (and not work their notice period) and receive PILON.

These two redundancy letters ensure you advise employees that their role and they are being made redundant and that employment is being terminated, including confirming:

Statutory redundancy pay due (provided they satisfy employment eligibility conditions).
Any additional redundancy payment due.
Employment termination date.
Right of appeal against the redundancy decision.

Both letters reflect current statutory redundancy pay calculation amounts for redundancies that occur before and after 1 October 2009.

Also included for free: redundancy pay calculation table to quickly and easily determine statutory redundancy pay for each redundant employee (based on age and length of service).
