Final Pay, Notice, Redundancy & Long Service Leave Demand

What this document does

• Formal demand to your former employer with an itemised entitlements schedule — unpaid wages, accrued annual leave, notice, redundancy pay on the NES scale, long service leave under your state's Act and superannuation — citing the Fair Work Act, the Fair Work Ombudsman and the $100,000 small claims court route.
• Records the facts that matter on paper: employer type (western australia), role, engagement type, dates, award/agreement and pay rate, start date and last day, award or agreement.
• Sets a clear deadline and spells out what happens if they ignore it.
• Cites the right Act, regulator and tribunal for your state — all eight states and territories covered.
• You review the draft first; we only send it to the other party on your say-so.

What we'll ask you

Plain-English questions, one at a time. No legal knowledge needed — if you don't know an answer exactly, your best estimate is fine.

1. Who was the employer? The legal or trading name on your payslips or contract (and the ABN if you have it).
2. Tell me what happened — how the job ended (resigned, dismissed, made redundant, contract ended), what you were paid on the way out, what's missing, and what the employer has said when you've asked.
3. What kind of employer was it?
4. What was your job title, and were you full-time, part-time or casual?
5. What was your start date and your last day?
6. Which award or enterprise agreement covered you, if you know?optional
7. What was your base pay — hourly rate or annual salary?
8. List what you believe is owed and roughly how much for each: unpaid wages or overtime, accrued annual leave (weeks or hours), notice (weeks), redundancy pay, long service leave, unpaid super, commissions or allowances.
9. If it was a redundancy: roughly how many staff did the employer have, did they consult you or offer another role, and are they saying it was a 'genuine redundancy' or that they're too small to pay? (Skip if not a redundancy.)optional
10. What's the total you're claiming? Add up the items above — a close estimate is fine, we show the working in the letter.
11. Would you accept payment in instalments?optional
12. Do you have the employer's email (payroll, HR, the owner)? We can send the letter straight to them once you approve it.optional
13. The state or territory the matter is in — so the document cites the right Act, regulator and tribunal.
14. Your name and email — so the draft lands in your dashboard and inbox.
