Everybody's first question is "Am I going to get any cash?” and the answer is : Yes, if..

* You are being made redundant, being fired from the company, and not resigning. You are usually dismissed if you accept an invitation to leave the company through voluntary redundancy.

* At least 2 years of continuous service

* You are employed under a contract of employment. This can be written, verbal, or a combination of both.

The next question is, "How much am I going to get?"
