The redundancy scheme is suspended at the moment. If that were to continue and a UK-based company goes out of business, would employees based here be able to access their redundancy entitlements? If something like that were to happen after Brexit, and the insolvency was because of Brexit, would it be possible for those employees to access redundancy payments, even though the scheme is suspended?

Given Brexit and its impact, is there a possibility that they would be able to access their redundancy or that they could move on to another job and have that redundancy entitlement protected?
