Let’s move on to exemptions from redundancy pay. So the following are a list of circumstances where redundancy pay is not payable. So less than 12 months no redundancy pay is applicable employees that have been employed for a fixed term period of time, but generally that would be less than 12 months anyway. So those two things are often common, common denominators. Casual employees are not entitled to redundancy trainees that are engaged only for the length of a training agreement, some apprentices so that depends on the Modern Award. We’ve had situations where some apprentices are entitled to redundancy pay, some are not. So again, that depends on the Modern Award. And section 122 provides a general exemption for small businesses with less than 15 employees. But it depends on the Modern Award. So certain modern awards, like the textiles award, the timber industry award, require redundancy pay, even if you are a small business, where most modern awards however, would not.

So it’s important to note there’s about 122 modern awards. Some of those will have redundancy provisions, probably the majority of which will not though for small businesses, most most awards that we refer back to the NES, and if you’re referring back to the NES, then you’ll you’re dealing with sections 119 and 122, in respect to small businesses.
