When an employment relationship ends, employees should receive the following entitlements in their final pay:

• any outstanding wages or other remuneration still owing
• any pay in lieu of notice of termination
• any accrued annual leave and long service leave entitlements
• the balance of any time off instead of overtime that the employee has accrued but not yet taken
• any redundancy pay or entitlements if the employee has been made redundant and is eligible. Fair Work Infoline: 13 13 94 If an employee has taken leave in advance and their employment ends before they've accrued it all back, the employer can deduct the amount still owing from the employee's final pay. If an employee believes that they have not been paid for all their entitlements when their employment ends, the FWO can investigate and take action to make sure that all entitlements are paid. Employers who fail to comply with their obligations under relevant Commonwealth workplace laws may face significant penalties.
