Kündigungen folgen komplexen Regelungen und müssen den Gesetzen des Landes entsprechen, in dem Mitarbeitende angestellt sind. Das Offboarding wird immer vom Arbeitgeber gemeinsam mit den wichtigsten Stakeholdern abgewickelt. Dabei können Ad-hoc-Gebühren anfallen und für spezifische Kündigungsfälle bestimmte Schritte erforderlich oder empfehlenswert sein.

Terminations in Australia can be complex. There is no at-will termination in Australia for employers outside the probation period and termination must be done for just cause.

Compliant terminations include:

• Voluntarily by the employee
• In beiderseitigem Einvernehmen
• Unilaterally by the employer based on:
  • Probation period
  • Objektive Gründe
  • Disciplinary dismissal
  • Performance due to unsuitability for the job
• Bis zum Ablauf des Vertrags

Die Mindestkündigungsfrist beträgt 1 Woche und wird abhängig von der Dauer des Beschäftigungsverhältnisses verlängert.

• Less than 1 year of employment - 1 week’s notice
• 1 - 3 years of employment - 2 weeks’ notice
• 3 - 5 years of employment - 3 weeks’ notice
• 5 years of employment - 4 weeks’ notice

In case the employee is older than 45 years old and has worked for the same employer for 2 years, they will be entitled to an additional week of notice.

Severance pay will depend on the number of years an employee has worked at the company.

• Less than 1 year at the company receives no severance pay.
• 1-2 years = 4 weeks’ severance pay.
• 2-3 years = 6 weeks’ severance pay.
• 3-4 years = 7 weeks’ severance pay.
• 4-5 years = 8 weeks’ severance pay.
• 5-6 years = 10 weeks’ severance pay.
• 6-7 years = 11 weeks’ severance pay.
• 7-8 years = 13 weeks’ severance pay.
• 8-9 years = 14 weeks’ severance pay.
• More than 10 years = 16 weeks’ severance pay.
