*Disclaimer - I have tried to google, and also tried to contact the job centre but one isn't giving me a clear answer and the other is engaged*

I am promise I am not being greedy just trying to find out what I am entitle to. I have had my contract terminated along with the rest of my team and we were contract staff. I have just accepted a job (thank the lord!) outside of this agency and pending a start date.

I haven't told them yet and someone has hinted that I could not tell them and claim my redundancy after 28 days from this Friday if they don't find me a job (which in all honesty probably is probably going to be the case).

This sounds fishy to me plus I need my P45 to stop emergency tax I would think but any advice is welcome!

As always thanks ever so, I have been incredibly needy lately hopefully I can give something back soon!

Statutory redundancy is payable if you have been an employee for 2 years or more and your employment has been terminated by reason of redundancy. If they have given you notice then it doesn't matter whether you find another job or not, if you are entitled to statutory redundancy pay you get it - the only circumstances where you might not is if they offered you suitable alternative employment and you refused it. I don't know where there 28 days reference comes from?

Hi Stargazerlily, I asked about this before and I come under the lay off term: https://www.gov.uk/lay-offs-short-timeworking/applying-for-redundancy-

Basically they have made cut backs so our assignment was terminated. I was told if after 28 days (4 weeks) on end of assignment there is no employment with them then we can apply for statutory redundancy. I just wanted to check that if I got another job not with them during this 28 days and providing they don't come back with a job offer that I could still claim it.

Thanks for replying I do appreciate it.
