The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me check my redundancy pay and plan the money.

My age and years with this employer: [details]
My weekly pay before tax: [amount]
What my employer has offered: [paste the figures]
My notice period: [from my contract]
Holiday I haven't taken: [days]
Anything in my contract about redundancy: [paste it]
My monthly outgoings: [rough total]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. The details to enter into the GOV.UK statutory redundancy pay calculator, in order.
2. A checklist of everything to get in writing from my employer: redundancy pay, notice pay, holiday pay, final pay date, and anything extra in my contract.
3. A simple table of what I'll get and when, with blanks for figures I need to confirm.
4. A month-by-month money plan for the next 6 months, using my outgoings.
5. Questions to ask HR, and when to contact Acas (0300 123 1100, Mon–Fri 8am–6pm) or Citizens Advice.

Leave every figure I haven't given as a blank. Not legal or financial advice. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts or figures. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. details: a short note you already have. amount: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
