TZV REDUNDANCY POLICY

NOTE: We do not give financial advice - check your entitlements before acting


TZV REDUNDANCY POLICY

TZV policy applies the Victorian Public Service Policy - Vic Govt Redundancy Policy

Key Benefits

Redeployment is a desired outcome but in many cases it will be an involuntary redundancy.

If terminated the following benefits apply
Pay out of all accumulated annual leave
Pay out of all accumulated long service leave
Payment of Notice benefit
Payment of retrenchment benefit

Notice benefit

This varies depending on years of service. The required minimum period of notice as provided in the NES is:

Employee's period of service	  		Period of notice
Not more than 1 year	          		At least 1 week
More than 1 year but less than 3 years		At least 2 weeks
More than 3 years but less than 5 years		At least 3 weeks
More than 5 years				At least 4 weeks
The minimum period of notice above is increased by one week if the employee is over 45 years of age and has completed at least 2 years' continuous service.

Retrenchment benefit

This varies depending (mainly) on years of service. If retrenched you will be paid (in addition to the notice period).
4 weeks' of pay, irrespective of length of service; plus
1 additional week pay if over 45 years of age
2 weeks' pay for each completed year of service to a maximum of 10 years

CWU example

Say you have 25 years service and age is over 45.
Notice 4 weeks + 1 week = 5 weeks
Retrench 4 weeks + 1 week + 2x10 weeks = 25 weeks
Total = 5 weeks + 25 weeks = 30 weeks

Long Service Leave

Employees will receive pro-rata long service leave if they have completed 7 or more years of service.

Redeployment ESTA Policy

Unless agreed otherwise between the Employer and the Redeployee, the redeployment period will be for a minimum period of three months. During this period the Redeployee will be provided with assistance to find an alternative ongoing position.

ESTA will support the Redeployee to identify ongoing vacancies for which they may be suitable and the Redeployee must actively engage in the redeployment process.

The Redeployee will be advised in writing of:
the actual date their employment is declared surplus.
details of the redeployment process and timeframe.
their rights and obligations..

Redeployment is a preferred outcome having regard to an employee's training, capabilities, knowledge and background.

Voluntary Redundancy only

A 3 year restriction on re employment in the Victorian public sector applies.
