Redundancy
No compensation is due with redundancy, BUT if you are individually made redundant, then you have to be given the legal notice:

In your case, it should be about 15 months. In practice, you're likely to get 0 to 3 months notice and the rest paid to you in a lump sum.
This "lump sum" can be seen as a form of compensation.
What is quite common is to ask to get fired, and then negotiate a package.
(Usually less than with a regular redundancy).
That way you also have rights regarding unemployment etc.
It's quite difficult for employers to make people redundant from what I hear if there is a union at work join it now to get help.
