The Redundancy Payments Service aims to process all claims within 6 weeks of receipt. Before making any payments, the Redundancy Payments Service requires certain documents from the Insolvency Practitioner administering the insolvency, to validate employees’ claims. The Redundancy Payments Service received these documents on Monday 21 March and the first payments were issued on that date; the first claim having been made on 3 March. By 23 March, 311 separate payments totalling £658,002.42 (gross) had been made on the case.
