Brighter Super’s redundancy offer is the bare minimum

Recently, we met with Brighter Super management to continue Enterprise Agreement negotiations on on redundancy, flexibility, superannuation, and hybrid working arrangements. 

Brighter’s most alarming proposal is on redundancy pay, which currently falls shockingly short of what other funds offer – see for yourself below. 

* After 10 years of service, paid redundancy entitlements are reduced to 12 weeks.

Brighter Super is proposing the legal bare minimum – the National Employment Standards (NES) redundancy payment of up to 16 weeks for those with 9 to10 years of service (or 12 weeks for those with over 10 years’ service), while existing employees keep their current retrenchment cap. This would mean an unfair 2-tier system of retrenchment payments. 

Brighter Super Management obviously don’t think we’re ALL worthy of decent redundancy pay.

What next?

We will keep fighting for fair redundancy pay. Join us by:

  • Completing our poll and sharing it with your colleagues. 
  • Registering to attend our ‘Ask us anything Wednesdays’ session next week to discuss Brighter Super’s redundancy proposal.
