My employment has recently ended after being terminated after 25 years continual service. I have not been paid out my Annual leave and Long Service Leave (LSL), totaling around thirty thousand dollars. My employer provided me with twelve weeks notice (they said as per the Fair Work Act) when terminating my employment and I was not made redundant. My employer stated in my termination letter that my LSL and Annual leave will be paid by EFT when my employment ends. I also have a separation certificate that my employer filled out with my annual leave and LSL amounts owing to me when my employment ends.
I was not under any contract and I am covered under a state award for my LSL. I have called the Fair Work Ombudsman who has referred me to Business Victoria and who has also advised me to contact my employer via email with a "Letter of Demand" for my entitlements to be paid within seven days.
Any advice and suggestions of how to recover my entitlements would be appreciated.
