Elements you can claim for
If you’ve been made redundant and your employer is insolvent, you can apply to the Insolvency Service for the money you’re owed.
To apply, you must complete the online application. We’ll then assess your claim and pay you the money you’re entitled to.
We make separate payments for the different elements of your claim:
- holiday pay
- arrears of pay
- notice worked but not paid
- loss of notice compensation
- protective awards
We’ll send you a letter each time we make a payment. This means you may get several different letters from us.
This guide explains the types of payment you might be entitled to and how we work out how much we should pay you.
