How many weeks redundancy would I be eligible for 30 years…

Section 119 of the Fair Work Act sets out the entitlement for redundancy pay under the National Employment Standards. A redundancy occurs when an employer no longer requires the job done by the employee to be done by anyone. In that situation, the employee’s position becomes redundant. Some of the tasks of the employee’s job may be allocated to other employees but essentially the position is finished.

In relation to your comments above A genuine redundancy occurs where: the employer no longer required the employee’s job to be performed by anyone, because of changes in the operational requirements of the employer’s enterprise; the employer has complied with any obligation in an applicable modern award or enterprise agreement to consult about the redundancy; and the employee could not reasonably have been redeployed within the business of the employer or an associated entity of the employer.

Redundancy pay is an entitlement under the National Employment Standards, for all eligible employees, with employees of small business employers being excluded. Other exceptions are outlined in s 121, s 122 and s 123.

1 year or less - 1 week

More than 1 year - 3 years - 2 weeks

Employees over 45 years old who have worked for the employer for at least 2 years get an extra 1 week notice.

Some employees don’t get redundancy payments when their job is made redundant.

The following employees don’t get redundancy pay:

1/ employees whose period of continuous service with the employer is less than 12 months

a stated period of time
