made redundant following pay cut

My friend has just been made redundant.

The company made her take a 10% pay cut at Christmas. And now her redundancy amount is been calculated on her new weekly wage. The company is only paying statuory redundancy and her new salary leaves her under €600.

This means she'll get €200 less redundancy.
Is her employer calculating using the correct weekly wage? Should her employer not use her average weekly wage over the past 53 weeks? Don't seem to be able to find anything on this.

From what you say it seems the amount is not being calculated correctly:

28. How is the weekly pay of pieceworkers calculated for redundancy purposes?

You go back 13 weeks from the date of termination. You then take a 26 week period ending on this date. Total pay for this 26 week period is calculated, with total hours worked also calculated. Total pay is divided by total hours to get pay per hour. Weekly pay for redundancy purposes is calculated by multiplying this hourly rate by the number of hours normally expected to be worked in a week.
It might be noted that where an employee does not work for any week or weeks during this 26 week period, these “empty” weeks are not counted for redundancy purposes, and the most recent week or weeks counting backwards are taken into account instead.

This seems to be only for pieceworkers, is the same method used for calculating what weekly wage a person on a fixed wage uses for calculating redundancy?

i thought it goes on the previous years p60? should it not be worked off that as that is her true wage etc(without the cut)..
