I am being made redundant, I have the following query regarding taking garden leave option.
My redundancy terms of agreement states that I am being given 2 months notice period from the 31st January, this being my exit date. Notice period is worked on the basis of years of complete service.
My employment start date was 1st April 2005.
On taking garden leave the 2 months’ notice brings the termination date to 31 March 2014. This now gives me 9 complete yrs. of service.
Garden leave stipulates I am still an employee with no break in service and all T + C's remain the same.
The employer’s policy states that for 9 years and over of completed service my notice period goes up from 2 months to 3 months.
Am I correct in assuming this will therefore increase the termination date by an extra month to the 30th April 2014 and in turn increasing my redundancy payout?
Thank you.
