Two employees have recently had their hours shortened following credit crunch impact on the business. I’m pretty sure they, or at least one of them, will shortly be made redundant. Her weekly wage is below the current maximum of £330.00 per week for calculating statutory redundancy pay. Do I calculate her entitlement on her new weekly wage or her “old” one? I am worried that hours are being shortened for a couple of weeks prior to redundancy to “help” with the payments then being made.
