Add Comment Question: What are my termination pay requirements for a labourer who has worked for me for 1.5 years? Answer: What you will have to pay will depend on whether you have a written contract of employment with the employee in question, and whether the contract properly addresses their entitlements upon termination. It will also depend on the age of the employee, and potentially other factors as well. For these reasons, I would recommend getting in touch with one of our lawyers at the number below, who can advise you as to how much you are obligated to pay. We can also help you draft a proper and enforceable release, which will protect you from any future claims once you have dismissed the employee in question.
