Whats included in a package? How much notice do they give you etc.
I have NO IDEA about any of this, i'm pretty sure my job is safe but JIC i need to have some idea of what I'd be looking at. I'm sure to go on Mat. Leave at the end of April so it's not really that far away anyway.
Im not really sure but my bestfriend was told on a friday afternoon that she was being made redundant and they told her not to come in on monday. They gave her 15 mins notice. So im not sure what the go is with it if that was actually allowed or not.
My dad was made redundant and was given a days notice. They gave him 3 months pay and also sent him and then 10 others made redundant on interview and cv workshops so thy had goodf chances of getting another job.
A lot of it is under the award / contract you've been employed under. Generally there's a set payment / year of service. If you're a union member, then contact your union for further info - if you're not a union member, then contact your union anyhows and get the info! Older workers in your workplace (eg more years there) should be able to assist as well.
In our workplace, the redundancy is capped after 27 years. Plus workers over a certain age are given an additional payment to assist in retraining /job search. Holiday & LSL may be paid out as well, but not sick leave.
For me they had to give 2 weeks notice (orpay for that 2 weeks) plus 2 weeks pay for every year of service plus any holiday leave/long service i had owing.
get in touch with your union, and don't agree to/sign anything before taking time to consider the offer.
