We sent out a Law-Now last week with details of the increase in
a week's pay for statutory redundancy from £350 to
£380. BERR has indicated that this increase will be effective
from 1 October 2009. It remains to be seen whether the weekly
increase will apply to other employment related payments where
these are calculated with reference to a week's pay, for
example the basic award calculation in unfair dismissal claims.
