Redundancy terms: who has a right to statutory redundancy payment?

Statutory redundancy pay is due to employees who are dismissed because their job is made redundant and who have at least two years’ continuous service with that employer at the time of dismissal. The two-year threshold and the redundancy dismissal are the essential conditions; it doesn’t apply if the person resigns, is dismissed for other reasons (like misconduct), or if they have less than two years’ service. Part-time workers can qualify just like full-time workers, provided they meet the two-year service requirement. The payment amount is calculated based on age, length of service, and weekly pay, within statutory caps. In this scenario, the person with two or more years of continuous service who is dismissed by redundancy meets the eligibility criteria.
