NES redundancy is generally national; state, award, agreement or public-sector rules may differ.
This uses the National Employment Standards redundancy table for a general estimate. Redundancy rules are not usually different state-by-state for national system employees, but state public sector rules, WA state system employment, awards, enterprise agreements, contracts and industry-specific arrangements may change the final entitlement.
Disclaimer: Redundancy estimates are general only and may differ depending on employer size, award, agreement, contract, eligibility exclusions and Fair Work rules.
