About this tool
Enter your years of continuous service and your weekly pay. The tool applies the NES scale, from 4 weeks at one year to 16 weeks at nine years, and 12 weeks for ten years or more. Small businesses with fewer than 15 employees and some other cases are not required to pay. Rates and rules change each year, so use the result as a guide and check the official source.

Who does not get redundancy pay?
