General Employee Entitlements and Redundancy Scheme

The General Employee Entitlements and Redundancy Scheme (GEERS) is a basic payment scheme designed to assist employees who have lost their employment as a result of the insolvency of their employer and are owed certain employee entitlements.

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations administers the Scheme in accordance with the GEERS Operational Arrangements. The GEERS Operational Arrangements are used to determine the eligibility of employees and the amount of any GEERS advance.
