What it does, and what it leaves to you
Covers: NES redundancy weeks by completed years of service, the small business (under 15 employees) and casual, fixed-term and apprentice exclusions, minimum notice including the age 45 extra week, unworked notice payout and accrued annual leave.
Gives: the amounts before tax and a text file you can keep with the termination record.
Not decided: long service leave, awards, enterprise agreements and contracts that pay more, leave loading, the tax treatment of the payment, unfair dismissal, whether the role is genuinely redundant, and employer applications to reduce the amount. Fair Work or an employment lawyer decides these.
Common questions
How much redundancy pay am I entitled to in Australia?
Under the National Employment Standards it ranges from 4 weeks of base pay after 1 year of service up to 16 weeks at 9 years, then 12 weeks from 10 years. Check the Fair Work Ombudsman for the current table.
Do small businesses pay redundancy?
Not under the NES: an employer with fewer than 15 employees at the time of notice is exempt, though an award, enterprise agreement or contract may still require it.
Do casuals get redundancy pay?
No. Casual, fixed-term and task employees, apprentices and trainees are excluded from NES redundancy pay.
How much notice must be given?
1 to 4 weeks depending on years of service, plus 1 extra week for employees aged 45 or over with at least 2 years. Unworked notice is paid out.
