Should a redundancy lump sum be given on your last day of work or can the employer hold out for awhile?
 
The majority of employers seem to be making ex-employees claim from the state. As far as I know it used to be that employers could only do this if the went "bust" but it seems to be common-place now to let employees go & just prove that they cannot afford to pay the lumpsums. I personally know of an employer who has done this - granted the company is struggling - but the employer & his family can still afford their trips to the states on holiday & shopping. So I feel this system is being abused highly & again the country is picking up the bill.
 

They will still have to pay the state the 40% part in due course.

Maybe down to a company by company situation.
 
it depends on circumstances, certainly in my own organisation, statutory is paid more or less on the last day and any ex gratia is paid on the next pay date after a person leaves
