How does receipt of an involuntary redundancy package affect my claim?
You are not eligible to apply for unemployment benefit for any period for which you are in receipt of payment in lieu of notice and this includes any compensation payment made for loss of office, including, but not limited to any payments made as compensation under a compromise agreement or redundancy package. For example, If you are in receipt of a redundancy package equivalent to 3 months salary you are not eligble to apply for unemployment benefit for 3 months.
