I got paid all my leave. I thought I wouldn't get it because I was terminated, but it's all there. Trying to keep my leave was one of the main reasons I was trying to make my old job work, and I thought it would be a loss I'd just have to eat moving into the new role.

But I got it. I'm going to hold onto it because I probably won't get paid over Christmas, so I can hold onto the leave pay I'd have to use then anyway.

Maybe you always get your leave, because you've technically already earned it. I thought it didn't get paid out if you got terminated

Doesn't matter the reason for your termination, you always get your annual leave paid out. Did they ask you not to work out your notice period? Because then you should get that paid out too on top of leave, depends on why you were terminated though. Check Fair Work website to make sure you got paid everything you are entitled to.

Yeah, I knew I was at least getting two weeks pay. I'll be checking the fair work website but initial vibes are I got everything I was entitled to

Your annual leave is always yours, it's banked and money owed to you. Sick leave isn't paid out though so always always use 100% of it when leaving a company.

Just curious but do you get redundancy pay in this case as well?

No, this wasn't a redundancy. This was a performance based termination
