Information for employees

In the event of dismissal

If you are dismissed, you might be entitled to statutory redundancy pay, arrears of pay, compensatory notice pay and holiday pay (https://www.gov.uk/your-rights-if-your-employer-is-insolvent/claiming-money-owed-to-you.) from the Redundancy Payments Service.

Information about your rights, how to apply and how we calculate payments (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/redundancy-payments-links-to-further-information-and-guidance/redundancy-payments-links-to-further-information-and-guidance#rights) is available on GOV.UK.

Who is eligible

You can apply to the Redundancy Payments Service (RPS) for redundancy and other statutory payments if you worked for Venator Materials UK Limited under an employment contract and have been dismissed.

Workers (https://www.gov.uk/employment-status/worker) and self-employed contractors (https://www.gov.uk/employment-status/selfemployed-contractor) who provided services to Venator Materials UK Limited are not eligible to apply. Instead, these individuals should contact the administrator to register as creditors.

Company directors

Check if you can apply for redundancy payments (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-can-apply-for-redundancy-payments-as-a-company-director) if you have been dismissed and were a director.

How to apply

The Joint Administrators will write to all dismissed employees to provide the relevant information needed to make a claim for redundancy payments.

The Joint Administrators will give details about how to apply and will also give you a case reference number (example: CN12345678). Once you have this information, you can apply online (https://www.gov.uk/claim-redundancy).

Paying your claim

On average it takes 12 days to process and pay claims. However, sometimes we need to get additional information from the individual or from the administrator, which can take a bit of time. We’ll contact you directly if we need anything further from you. We always try to pay eligible claims within six weeks of receiving the application.

To allow us to deal with everyone’s application as quickly as possible, please do not contact us to check the status of your application until after the six weeks have passed.

Getting help with your application for redundancy payments

If you need help completing your application, you can contact the Redundancy Payments helpline on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

When calling, please have your case reference number (Example: CN12345678) and National Insurance number to hand. If you do not have a case reference number, please contact the Joint Administrator or their employment rights agents.
