Does an apprentice receive redundancy contributions?

Unless otherwise stipulated in a work place agreement, apprentices do not receive redundancy contributions until you become a qualified in your trade.

However, in Victoria and Tasmania, employers are required to provide the number of days an apprentice works on a commercial/industrial construction site on a monthly basis as the apprentice receives insurance cover under the Personal Accident Leisure Time Insurance scheme.

Once you have completed your apprenticeship in Victoria and Tasmania, have worked on a commercial construction site for 12 months and has subsequently received 52 weeks of redundancy contributions, the days reported by employer/s during an apprenticeship convert to money and are credited to your Incolink account.
