DIRECTOR REDUNDANCY CLAIMS / QUICK LINKS

What most directors don’t know

Did you know...
You may be entitled to redundancy pay for any time worked.

This is especially viable when you are facing the prospect of having to liquidate your company. Sometimes you may not be able to fund placing the company into liquidation. However, there are statutory entitlements which could prove beneficial and provide you with much needed funds.

If you are part of a company in distress, perhaps that is needing to liquidate and has been trading for over two years, there is a firm possibility you could receive redundancy from the Redundancy Payments Service.

The average claim is in the region of £10,000.

There may be other statutory entitlements you can also claim for like holiday pay, notice pay and unpaid wages.

Once you are liaising with the Liquidator of your company they can provide you with the necessary forms to complete in order to process your claim.

What will be repaid to me?

The total amount you could receive will depend on your length of service, your age and what your salary was. This will be calculated by the gross weekly wages at the point of redundancy which is capped at £479 per week and the length of time you were employed by the company which is again capped at 20 years.
