Do I have a right to compensation if I'm made redundant?

Question

Accepted Answer

Whether you get payments for redundancy depends on your employment agreement - under New Zealand law, there is no basic right to redundancy pay. You won’t get compensation for being made redundant unless your boss has agreed to it with you or your union, or if you’re covered as a ‘Vulnerable worker’. Compensation can be part of your employment agreement or separate.
After redundancy, any unused annual leave and salary along with any other entitlements up to the end date is payable.
