Thank you for your question although I am sorry that you are to be made redundant for the second time.

If your employer is making the redundancy payment, it should be paid to you on the last day that you work or as soon as is possible. If there is likely to be a long delay then it must be agreed with the employee.

If you feel that you are are having to wait too long, you can take the employer to an Employment Tribunal, but I would seek legal advice before doing so.

Please let me know if this helps. It would be good if you could keep us posted on the situation.
