Add Comment Question: Is an employee entitled to severance if he was part time/casual but employed for 5.2 years? If so, what is his entitlement? He was terminated as part of a closure of business whereas over 200 employees had to be let go. Thanks Answer: Such an employee is absolutely entitled to severance. I would need to know the age of the employee, but it could easily be 6 months pay. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
