The statutory redundancy starts 2 years after you started with the company and then you are entitled one weeks wages for every year you have worked there up to a maximum of £310 a week. Once you reach 41+ you then get an extra half week payment per year.
To give you an idea I have worked for the same company for 27 years (age 22 to 49) amd my statutory DTI redundancy payment will be £7,440
Not a lot is it?
Heres a nice little redundancy calculator to upset you all - http://www.dti.gov.uk/cgi-bin/er_feb07_reconner.pl
It's better than a kick in the knackers mate. Some people don't get anything if their company goes bust, AFAIK.dmpoole said:To give you an idea I have worked for the same company for 27 years (age 22 to 49) amd my statutory DTI redundancy payment will be £7,440

I will have enhancements (so I've been told) which could take it nearer the £15,000 mark.
Hmm, if I remember right Mark paid around £30,000 for OCUK, I wonder if he'll let me go halves
Anyway, back on track - tell your sister to get some legal advice because I have heard of workers sitting on stock before to get whats owed.

sell enough stock to cover her wages and that of anyone else she wants to help out
Job done no theft of stock just taking money that is owed
That wouldn't be legal surely?!

Hm if they go into administration she will get zero from the business itself.
however, you can claim back wages from the government (upto £250 per week for each week you are owed) and on top of that she may be able to claim her redundancy from the business too.
id tell her to hang tight for a day or so, and she should recieve some documents from HR to that effect.
ive been in the same situation myself and i claimed back most things from the government, albeit the amount i accrued in wages owed was more than the government paid me out.

It takes at least one of two things in order for a thief to be caught, or any criminal for that matter: insufficient mental acuity (which includes awareness of one's surroundings) and bad luck.
In that situation, manager of the store who knows its security intimately and is able to control access to the premises, at least long enough for the villainous purpose in mind...there's very little scope for bad luck.
I think it takes an unimaginative person to assume failure/detection is likely.

Except that it would be theft of stock because in the music retail industry almost everything is on sale or return, so it actually belongs to the supplier, not the retailer.
