a week’s pay for each full year of employment after their 22nd birthday
half a week’s pay for each full year of employment up to their 22nd birthday
Length of service is capped at 20 years and weekly pay is capped at £538. The maximum amount of statutory redundancy pay is £16,140."
Statutory yes, but they can offer any package they want...
My company offered it with an uncapped weekly pay for instance. Unions will negotiate .
