redundancy payments

Job loss money

Redundancy payments are compensation given to employees who lose their jobs because their positions are eliminated—the work itself has become unnecessary, not the worker inadequate.

In British employment law, statutory redundancy pay is calculated based on age, length of service, and weekly earnings.
