Try the Home Office website - there should be links to Employment stuff from there and they're pretty good about documentling legislation. Its abit dry though so you may want to find somewhere a little more user friendly.

I had to give someone their notice last year and so did some research into statutory redundancy payments:

This page on the DTI website is pretty comprehensive about who is entitled to what by law:

www.dti.gov.uk/er/redundancy/payments-pl808.htm

This deals with the income tax and NI on redundancy payments:

FREE HELPLINE

A free helpline is available to answer any of your queries and the number to ring is 0500 848 489.

It would be worth having a good read through of their employment contracts as well.

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated.
