If it is redundancy pay then no you cannot use it as earnings, if it is payment in lieu of notice then you can use it as earnings. Have you got any document defining the payment?dhruv wrote:Hi Guys,
I was laid off in june and was paid one month severance pay. Can i use as earnings to claim points?
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks
I have a letter which says that I had received severance pay because of being laid off. Do you think it will be considered? this payment was not accumulated due to holidays etcaruni4470 wrote:If it is redundancy pay then no you cannot use it as earnings, if it is payment in lieu of notice then you can use it as earnings.

Same! The risk is yours and so is the decision.dhruv wrote:Now what do you guys suggest?
Severance pay can include 'Redundancy Pay' and/or 'payment in lieu of notice', that was the reason I asked if you have any document defining the payment.dhruv wrote:Lets discuss these points:
From Tier 1 Manual: payment in lieu of notice (a payment made • instead of requiring an employee to work the normal period of notice when leaving a job). ( They accept this as earnings)
Now lets define payment in Lieu of notice:
Payment in lieu of notice is an employment law term, particularly in United Kingdom labour law, which means "pay instead of advance notice that your job will end." It could also be called severance pay. ( Good Old Wiki)
Now what do you guys suggest?

Now what do you guys suggest?
Redundancy pay is what an employer pays when an employee is made redundant. (The employer has the obligation of paying this only if the employee has worked for more than 2 yrs with that employer)
Payment in lieu of notice is what the employer pays when he wants you to leave the company immediately without serving the notice period and pay for that period.
So get a clarity first whether this is 'redundancy pay' or ''payment in lieu of notice'
Thanks man. I have a letter which states salary withdrawn and also "one month salary paid as payment made in lieu of notice". These are the exact words in that single letter. Please let me know if this is sufficient.aruni4470 wrote:You should know about it. Check your payslips or document that clarifies the point. Also think about the proof you are going to show that this is given to you as payment in lieu of notice.
If the salary is made in lieu of notice, yes you can claim it as previous earnings.dhruv wrote:Thanks man.

Appreciate your help
Only if you had mentioned this fact in the opening post! When your document(s) show the paymout as "payment in lieu of notice" and there is no mention of "severance pay", you should be okay.dhruv wrote:I have a letter which states salary withdrawn and also "one month salary paid as payment made in lieu of notice".
