This is the money the government will pay you rather than severance from an employer.

Redundancy also comes with a required notice period that the employer must pay you through as well. And there’s a bunch of other rules around how people can be selected for redundancy.

I got laid off when Realtime Worlds went into administration and only got the statutory pay until years later the company was wound up and I got a follow on measly cheque from them for part the money they still owed me for the notice period.

Nope, that money is entirely paid by the employer.

"Your redundancy pay is called a statutory redundancy payment. It is calculated based on your age, weekly pay and number of years you’ve worked for your employer. You are also entitled to a paid minimum statutory Notice Period. It’s your employer’s duty to pay these, but your payments are capped"

If the employer can't pay (as in my case) this is also the money the government will pay in their lieu. Which is why it's so shit/capped. Normal payments from employers are generally more in my experience.

Likewise the notice period is paid at full rate.
