Introduction - Wilkin Chapman Grange Solicitors
I think the law demands 1 week's pay for each year served. Maybe the armed forces are different?
That's the legal statutory minimum...its does not apply in most of the public sector, or indeed in quite a lot of the larger companies in the private sector. Nor does it apply in any case where an individual has better contractural terms than the minimum. In essence it's a catchall intended to give basic cover to the low paid in the private sector.
