RE: Redundancy Notice — Request for Information
Hi [Manager's Name], Thank you for advising me of the redundancy of my position as [Your Position/Title] at [Company Name], effective [Redundancy Date]. I've been with the company for [Years of Service] and I want to make sure I receive all my entitlements. Could you please provide the following in writing: 1. The written reasons for why my position is being made redundant 2. Confirmation of my notice period and whether it will be worked or paid in lieu 3. My redundancy pay calculation based on my years of continuous service 4. Final pay details including accrued annual leave, long service leave (if applicable), and any other outstanding entitlements 5. Whether consultation obligations under my award or agreement have been met I'd also like to understand what efforts were made to redeploy me within the business, as this is a requirement for a genuine redundancy under the Fair Work Act. Please note that I have 21 days from the effective date of dismissal to lodge an unfair dismissal application with the Fair Work Commission if the redundancy is not genuine. Kind regards, [Your Full Name]
