Your Redundancy Could Be Wrong in Three Ways

They Miscalculated Your Entitlements

They Miscalculated Your Entitlements

Redundancy pay, notice period, accrued leave—employers forget components all the time.

Common calculation errors:

  • Wrong service length counted
  • Annual leave not included
  • Long service leave "overlooked"
  • Notice period not paid in full

Average underpayment we find: $8,000-$15,000

01

Your Redundancy Isn't Actually Genuine

Your Redundancy Isn't Actually Genuine

If your job still exists (just under a different title), or if they hire someone similar within 6 months—it's not redundancy. It's unfair dismissal.

Red flags:

  • Restructure but your duties continue under someone else
  • No consultation about alternatives
  • No offer of redeployment to other roles
  • New job ad appears shortly after

This isn't redundancy. It's wrongful dismissal disguised as redundancy.

02

They Didn't Follow Proper Process

They Didn't Follow Proper Process

Genuine redundancy requires:

  • Consultation (not just telling you it's happening)
  • Discussion of alternatives and redeployment
  • Consideration of your input

If they just called you in and said "you're redundant, here's your payout" — that's not lawful redundancy.

What We Do

1

FREE Redundancy Assessment (Same Day)

We review:

  • Your redundancy letter and calculations
  • Whether the redundancy appears genuine
  • What you're actually entitled to receive
  • Whether you have grounds to challenge
2

Calculate Full Entitlements

We verify:

  • Redundancy pay (based on your service years)
  • Notice period or payment in lieu
  • All accrued annual leave
  • Long service leave (if applicable)
  • Pro-rata entitlements
3

Demand Correct Payment

If you're underpaid, we issue a formal demand for the shortfall. Most employers pay when calculations are proven wrong.

4

Challenge Non-Genuine Redundancy

If your redundancy is sham, we can lodge:

  • Unfair dismissal claim (if within 21 days)
  • General protections claim
  • Underpayment claim for full entitlements

Time Limits Apply

  • Unfair dismissal claims (if redundancy is sham): 21 days from dismissal
  • Underpayment claims: 6 years, but evidence degrades

The earlier we review your case, the stronger your position.
