The covering letter had a statement of entitlement which was £15,000 less than that which I'd calculated online.
I came out in 2007 on Tranche 3 of that redundancy campaign. There was an online calculator; however, before we applied we also had the ability to request a written calculation of what was on offer. That way there could be no argument and if there was a problem at least you could contest it with your “bit of paper”.
Did you have the opportunity to request the information formally?
I for one would not have been satisfied to have decided my fate with just a random on-line calculator and no written agreement of the lump sum. And I don’t mean any disrespect to you.
As it was, my final lump sum was even bigger than the calculation so I was well happy. Sorry, I am not rubbing in salt. The original figure had not taken into account pay rises etc.
Final question, does anybody remember how many people were involved in “my” 3 tranches of redundancy?
