When are employees on lay off or on short time working entitled to redundancy pay?

When are employees on lay off or on short time working entitled to redundancy pay?

Entitlement to statutory redundancy pay: Once employees have been on lay-off or on short-time working for 4 consecutive weeks or for a combined total of 6 weeks during any 13-week period, they may seek to claim a statutory redundancy payment (provided that they have two years’ service). There is a prescriptive process for this – please seek advice.
