Questions people ask

Does this include payment in lieu of notice?
This page estimates the pay value of the notice weeks themselves. Contract wording and payroll treatment for PILON can still change the real outcome.
Why does the calculator compare contractual notice too?
An employee is usually entitled to at least the statutory minimum, but a contract can require a longer notice period. This calculator uses the higher of the two figures you enter.
