There is Statutory Redundancy Pay

You have the right to receive statutory redundancy pay if you have been working for your employer for two or more years, with length of service capped at 20 years.  You will receive:

• Half a week’s pay for each full year you were under 22.
• One week’s pay for each full year you were between the ages of 22 and 40.
• One-and-a-half week’s pay for each full year you were aged 41 or more.

Weekly pay is calculated as the average you earned per week over the 12 weeks before the day you received your redundancy notice. You can calculate your redundancy pay on the government website.
