Ive recently moved to the UKwhat redundancy rights do I have as a new arrival?

A Sorted Team Answered by

Your redundancy rights generally depend on your employment contract, continuous service and immigration status, rather than how long you have lived in the UK or your nationality. If you have at least two years’ continuous service, you may qualify for statutory redundancy pay, subject to age and weekly-pay limits; your employer should also follow a fair process and give the required notice. Even with less service, you may still be owed notice pay, unpaid wages and accrued holiday, and some protections can apply. If your visa is tied to your job, check GOV.UK promptly or speak to an immigration adviser, as losing employment may affect your permission to stay.
