Redundancy & employer is insolvent (PILON)
Discussion
Hi Folks,
Today my employer went insolvent and I have 13 years service.
I have a question about PILON (Payment in Lieu of Notice).
My wages are £30,000/year (£578/week), so I will get the full 12 weeks PILON entitlement, however I have been advised the following:
1) Claim JSA because they'll deduct it anyway, and claim for as long is reasonable.
2) Don't work for 12 weeks to get maximum time off because if I find a new job too quickly, the notice period ends when I start new employment.
- Perhaps I'm best enjoying 6 weeks off being paid, spend the last 6 weeks job hunting and letting any protentional new employer know I can't start until my notice period ends?
Is the last part correct? Seems too good to be true.

Might be worth a read through, hope things work out.
