Members are reminded that the Building and Construction General On-Site Award 2020 (MA000020) contains a provision relating to the industry specific redundancy scheme that applies upon termination of employment in most circumstances, including resignation.
The meaning of redundancy under this Award refers to a situation where an employee ceases to be employed by an employer, other than for reasons of misconduct or refusal of duty. The usual definition of redundancy (e.g. where a position is no longer required) should not be confused with the application of this clause.
If you have employees covered by this Award or if you have questions about what your obligations are in relation to this scheme, please contact the Advisory Team on 02 6175 5900 or by email legal@mba.org.au.
