Redundancy pay calculation redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from a statutory redundancy worksheet, working toward the standard in UK GDPR Recital 26. anonym.plus marks each name, reference, and amount on your device, so the formula stays clear while the worker is shielded.
When this applies
A worksheet ties a worker to length of service, a weekly figure, and a final total. You strip those identifiers before the file goes to finance or counsel review.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the worksheet in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags the name, reference, and amounts.
- Local OCR reads a scanned notice letter if present.
- Confirm the flags and keep the formula labels.
- Swap or black out the marked items.
- Save the clean file locally.
What you need to provide
- The worksheet (XLSX, PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the maths readable).
- Optional: turn the name map OFF for true anonymity.

Limitations & cautions
A unique length of service plus a total can point to one person. The tool flags named items, not every indirect clue. Review the worksheet before you share it.
Frequently asked questions
Which standard guides this redaction?
UK GDPR Recital 26 sets the anonymity bar. anonym.plus removes identifiers so a redundancy worksheet no longer points to a person.
Will the formula survive?
Yes. Formula labels stay. Only personal identifiers are marked for removal.
Is the worksheet uploaded?
No. The app is offline, so the exit figures stay on your device.
