If you resign as an employee during the consultation period, then your resignation would be treated as a simple resignation like at any other time, you would not be entitled to ask for redundancy payment, as you would not be being made redundant, you would have resigned.

In fact by resigning you would be saving the employer possible redundancy payment.

I have found a new job whilst my current employer started the redundancy consultations - If I resign, as per your answer I am not able to claim redundancy payment - is this correct understanding ?

Thank you for your response. I got the answer
Expert:  james bruce replied 14 days ago.

Yes that is correct, if you resign then you are not being made redundant so NO redundancy pay.
