In the administration period, the first 14 days are crucial for employees. If you’re made redundant during this time, you’ll be put into the last category to receive monies owed and will become an ‘ordinary creditor’. You will still retain your entitlement to redundancy payments and outstanding wages.
Do you get redundancy pay if the company goes into administration?

Are employees liable for negligence?

Can a company come back from administration?

Can companies come out of administration?
If a company is deemed viable in the long-term, the administrator may decide that a Company Voluntary Arrangement is the best way out of administration. This involves a single monthly repayment being made to the administrator, who distributes it to each creditor as agreed in the CVA.
Can a company be saved after administration?
Your administrator will try to stop your company being wound up (‘liquidated’). If they can’t, they will try to pay as much of your company’s debts as possible from the company’s assets. Your administrator has 8 weeks to write a statement explaining what they plan to do.
