The Fair Entitlements Guarantee is a federal government scheme that provides financial help to eligible workers who lose their job because their company has gone into liquidation. Eligible workers may receive:

• Up to 13 weeks of unpaid wages
• Unpaid annual leave
• Unpaid long service leave
• Up to five weeks of payment in lieu of notice
• Redundancy pay (equivalent to four weeks per full year of service)

The Fair Entitlements Guarantee does not cover unpaid employer superannuation contributions.
