If your employer has gone out of business without paying you, you may still be able to claim:

✔️ Up to 8 weeks' unpaid wages
✔️ Holiday pay
✔️ Statutory notice pay
✔️ Statutory redundancy pay

If your employer is insolvent, you can usually claim through the government's Redundancy Payments Service. If they aren't insolvent, you may be able to take your case to an employment tribunal.

Don't assume you've lost the money you're owed – check your rights and get advice.
