My husband has been notified that due to his company’s contract ending, he has now been put on notice of redundancy and given garden leave for 3 months until the end of July.

In the meantime they will continue to look for a role within the company, however he has a very specialist role which seems unlikely.

He has been offered a role with a new employer who has taken over the contract to start on June 1st, but he is not being offered redundancy, and ideally would prefer to have that and accept the new role.

Will his company make him stay until the garden leave expires before paying his redundancy? Can he request redundancy and can they reject it?

Thanks
