Redundancy Qualification

[Keltyx]

Hi there, looking for some advice from you fine people.

I am being made redundant, I had my notice through today (5th August) that it is my final day of employment and I will be paid 1 months "notice in lieu", my contract stipulates 1 month notice.

I just wanted to know what my rights are when it comes to statutory redundancy pay, I started working for the company on 18th August 2018, so I am 2 weeks short of the 2 years qualifying period. Does paying my month in lieu mean I do not qualify for redundancy, or is my end of employment counted as the date of redundancy plus notice period?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Kind Regards, Keltyx.

If your last day of employment is 5th then that's it, 2 weeks shy and no qualification for statutory. The pay in lieu is just that, it's paying you so you don't have to work or be employed by them during August and as said, your employment with them stops/stopped today unfortunately.

After a bit of digging I was expecting this to be the case. Thanks for the responses!
