When advising employees on their redundancy rights and the terms of their compromise agreements, we are seeing situations where employers are including payment in lieu of notice (PILON) in employees’ redundancy payments. Any PILON is taxable and an employer does not have to make a PILON unless there is a provision in the employee’s employment contract. An issue that may arise where an employer does include a PILON with an employee’s redundancy pay to make one payment is the risk that this could be investigated by HM Revenue & Customs (Inland Revenue), possibly resulting in the employee having to pay any tax owing.

If you require further information about UK employment law or seek clarification with regards to payment in lieu of notice, please contact us at enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com or visit one of the following pages on employment law:
