Who pays redundancy

Does the employer have to pay the full cost of a redundancy payment or is part of it paid by central government?

Thanks

Mark

It is the responsibility of the employer to pay the redundancy pay. This may be either a contractual or scheme amount or the statutory amount depending on the employer. You can obtain details of the statutory calculation at the following http://www.berr.gov.uk/cgi-bin/er_feb07_reconner.pl
