Where an employee was receiving Unemployment Benefit due to being temporarily laid of or being put on short-time, is there any effect on calculating how much redundancy payment he/she are due?
Yes. If it is a lay-off, all the period of lay-off is non-reckonable for redundancy purposes, i.e. must be excluded in deciding how many years were served and therefore in calculating how much redundancy is due. Periods of short-time, in contrast, are in fact fully reckonable. All of this applies only to a 3 year period ending on the date of termination (for all redundancies notified on or after 10th April, 2005). There is therefore no non-reckonable service prior to this 3 year period.
