VR only COMPLETE years qualify ?

Post by timemax »

I have read other posts regarding VR, all mention COMPLETE years of service,but what about the current one ?
My next full year would be in june,does this mean up till then wouldn't count ? Also I understand you get 12 weeks notice, is the calculation worked out on the LAST day of service or the day of the offer ? I would work to the end of the notice period so will welcome any advice/comments etc.

In my previous job I'd been there 16 years and 11 months, and got 16 years money :(

According to the VR calculator we were sent VR payment is based on full year of service.

.
VR and EVR payments would be based on last day of service. This could be weeks or months after offer is made.

Presumably if you finished 3 days later you'd get an extra year.
