Employee update - 09.10.2024
We have been made aware that a number of former employees have received a letter from the Redundancy Payments Service ('RPS'), that their redundancy payment has been incorrectly capped.
We have been in contact with the RPS and they have advised us that there is a technical issue at their end which they are in the process of resolving.
In the meantime, should you wish to discuss and/or contact the RPS directly, they can be contacted on telephone number 0330 331 0020.

key areas:
• understanding the redundancy process, including rights and entitlements
• money matters, including benefits and pensions
• practical advice on getting a new job
• career guidance services, including identifying learning, training and funding opportunities
• business start-up and self-employment
