Termination Pay Meaning

What does termination pay mean in the UK? Well, it is a term that is used by the Unions and the National Health Services (NHS) to describe the payment that one makes to their UMP during a period of dismissal. The criteria for determining who makes up this payment differs between the NHS and Unions, as they have slightly different criteria. The criteria that will be applied to you when you are seeking a payout for a period of dismissal from your job are that you were making less than the standard rate for the period of time, and that there was a valid reason for you to be made redundant.

So, what does this term actually mean? When an employee is made redundant, this simply means that the employer has chosen not to employ that person any more and so would like to replace them with someone else. The law says that the employee would get a fair notice of dismissal if the employer decides to make them redundant, but then appeals against this decision, and so the employee gets a payout for unfair dismissal. So, if you were employed and you were made redundant, your employer would get a payout as to whether or not your notice of dismissal was valid, and if it was not, they would appeal against it.

In the case of an industrial accident, the employer will appeal to the Employment Tribunal. If the ruling goes in their favour, the employer will automatically get a payout of two million pounds plus court costs, as well as a further three million pounds for expenses. This is because the tribunal has power to award compensation for the actual financial loss incurred, as well as costs, including time off sick. The majority of people involved in accidents never make a claim for loss of earnings, loss of service or compassionate expenses, which is why the courts will often hand down huge awards like this. Therefore, even if you never make a claim for these types of losses, the amount awarded can be huge.

Why Do You Need To Know The Termination Pay Meaning?

When an employer makes a valid claim for wrongful dismissal, the Umpires must also show that there was ‘a clear contractual or statutory warning’ given to you that you are being dismissed. Sometimes the employer will have a second, separate warning, which can also be required. An example of this would be where an employee was informed that they would lose their entitlement to a certain number of days off sick in the next twelve months. The employee could not simply ‘voluntarily’ take that off without telling the employer about it first, which would count against them in court. Therefore, if the Umpires do not show you a warning letter, and you were still sent off, you would have a claim for a billion pounds in wrongful dismissal.

Another aspect of this law is that there is no ceiling on the sum of money the employer can receive when a member of staff gets terminated. For example, if an employee gets terminated because the employer feels that they are ‘not good enough’ then the employee may get up to ten times their normal wage. This is known as common law severance pay definition. If your employer does not follow this common law severance clause, then they could be liable for compensation for unfairly dismissing you. This is known as penal law severance pay definition.

If you feel that you have been unfairly dismissed, whether it be from umpires, your employer, or law enforcement officials, then you should see a lawyer as soon as possible. If you do not want to consult with a lawyer, then it would be advisable to check employment law websites. These sites offer advice on how different parts of UK law will apply to your case.
