Amounts of advance attributable to particular employment entitlements if advance reduced for debts to employer
32 Amounts of advance attributable to particular employment entitlements if advance reduced for debts to employer
This section applies for the purposes of working out for the purposes of this Part how much of an advance for a person’s employment by an employer is for a particular employment entitlement if the amount of the advance is reduced under section 17 for the person’s debts to the employer.
So far as the amount of the debt applied in the reduction relates to a thing described in column 1 of an item of the following table, the reduction is taken to be of the amount of the advance for the person’s employment entitlement described in column 2 of the item.
Effect of applying debts relating to particular things | ||
|---|---|---|
Item | Thing to which debt relates | Relevant employment entitlement |
1 | Annual leave | Annual leave entitlement |
2 | Long service leave | Long service leave entitlement |
3 | Payment in lieu of notice | Payment in lieu of notice entitlement |
4 | Redundancy pay | Redundancy pay entitlement |
5 | Wages (except for annual leave or long service leave) | Wages entitlement |
So far as the amount of the debt applied in the reduction does not relate to a thing described in column 1 of the table in subsection (2), the reduction is taken to have applied proportionally to what would (apart from the reduction for that amount) have been the amounts of the advance that would have been for particular employment entitlements.
