Your rights in a redundancy at Tesco
Tesco's situation does not change the statutory rules that apply to any UK redundancy: our redundancy consultation guide covers collective consultation and protective awards, and redundancy vs settlement agreement covers how a settlement agreement interacts with a redundancy exit, including the independent legal advice you are entitled to have your employer pay for.
What you are entitled to regardless of what Tesco offers
Whatever Tesco ultimately offers, if you have at least 2 years' continuous service with Tesco you are entitled by law to statutory redundancy pay (a week's pay per full year of service, more for older employees, less for younger ones, capped at £751 a week and 20 years' service for 2026/27, a maximum of £22,530), your notice period or pay in lieu, accrued but untaken holiday pay, and a genuine consultation process, regardless of anything Tesco negotiates on top.
The most recent public reporting on this Tesco programme is dated 29 January 2025; nothing since has changed the statutory floor above, which you can work out for your own age, service and pay with our redundancy pay calculator (see also being made redundant: what happens next).
We have not identified a publicly sourced enhanced redundancy scheme specific to Tesco. If your offer states an enhanced multiple, your adviser checks it as part of the settlement agreement review below.
What to check before signing
Before you sign anything, work out what you are owed regardless of any negotiation, and what is genuinely on the table. These guides cover the detail:
