Redundancy is another way of ending employment. Many awards and agreements already provide for notice periods, severance payments and other separation benefits.
The State standard for severance payments is as follows:
| Period of continuous service | Additional payments in cases of redundancy |
|---|---|
| less than 1 year | Nil |
| 1 - 2 years | 4 weeks |
| 2 - 3 years | 6 weeks |
| 3 - 4 years | 7 weeks |
| more than 4 years | 8 weeks |
