Additional Considerations
- Severance Packages – Some employers offer enhanced redundancy packages, including additional payments, extended benefits, or career support.
- Superannuation – Redundancy payments do not include superannuation contributions unless stated explicitly in your contract.
- Tax Implications – Redundancy payments are subject to specific tax treatments, with some portions taxed at a lower rate depending on your years of service.
Employers don’t always calculate redundancy entitlements correctly. Seeking independent legal advice ensures you receive your full entitlements, including any additional benefits outlined in your contract or company policies.

Are Redundancy Claims the Same as Workplace Change Claims?
Redundancy occurs when a job is no longer needed due to restructuring, downsizing, business closure, or relocation. It results in termination of employment and may entitle the employee to redundancy pay. Workplace change involves modifications to job roles, responsibilities, work location, or company structure, but the employee may or may not remain employed. This can include promotions, demotions, or shifts in duties.
Contact Wyatts’ professional redundancy claims lawyers at 1800 773 880 today to understand the difference between both.
Am I Eligible for Redundancy Claims?
Under the Fair Work Act 2009 and the National Employment Standards (NES), most employees are entitled to redundancy pay. You may be eligible to claim a redundancy pay under:
- An award
- An enterprise agreement
- An employment contract
- A company policy
Contact our employment law experts to confirm your eligibility.
How Do I Submit an Employment Law Claim for Redundancy?
To file a redundancy claim, follow these steps:
- Review Your Entitlements – Check your redundancy pay, notice period, and leave payouts under the Fair Work Act, employment contract, or company policy.
- Raise the Issue with Your Employer – Discuss any concerns about your redundancy payment or process with HR or management.
- Gather Supporting Documents – Collect your employment contract, payslips, termination letter, and correspondence related to your redundancy.
- Seek Legal Advice – Consult an employment lawyer to assess your claim and ensure you receive your full entitlements.
- Lodge a Claim – If necessary, file a complaint with the Fair Work Commission or your state’s workplace authority for dispute resolution.
- Take Legal Action – If your claim remains unresolved, you may need to pursue legal proceedings through an employment tribunal or court.
If you miss the deadline or need assistance, our employment law experts are ready to guide you every step of the way. Contact Wyatts at 1800 773 880.
How Long After a Workplace Redundancy Incident Can I Make a Claim?
The time limit for filing a redundancy claim depends on the type of claim. Unfair dismissal, discrimination, and general protections claims must be lodged with the Fair Work Commission within 21 days from the date of termination. There is no strict deadline for redundancy pay disputes, but it’s best to act as soon as possible to avoid complications.
In most states, claims related to unpaid entitlements or contractual breaches must be filed within six years. Our expert employment law experts can guide you through the process and ensure you meet all necessary deadlines. Call us at 1800 773 880 for assistance today.
