If you are looking for information on how to work out what your entitlements on termination are, please see our blog post:
What am I entitled to be paid on termination?
It can be very upsetting when your employer has not paid your termination entitlements, such as notice, redundancy pay or accrued leave. There can be a number of reasons for this, including:
a. your employer refuses to pay those entitlements;
b. your employer denies that you have those entitlements;
c. your employer has paid part but not all of your entitlements;
d. your employer does not have the money to pay your entitlements; and
e. your employer is bankrupt.
The options available to you depend on why your employer has not paid:
a. you may be able to make a FEG (fair entitlements guarantee) claim;
b. the FWO (Fair Work Ombudsman) may be able to assist you; or
c. you may need a lawyer to help you recover your entitlements.
If you haven’t been paid some or all of your entitlements, please give us a call on (03) 5722 4681 to discuss whether we can help you.
