Apprentices and Redundancy

Quarterly Benefit Statement

If you work in the commercial building and construction industry and your employer provides us with the days you work on these sites, or is paying Incolink Redundancy contributions, you will receive a Quarterly Member Benefit Statement.

Benefit Statements provide an up-to-date outline of the benefits members have accrued through the ongoing contributions to the redundancy fund by employers on their behalf.

Benefit Statements are posted quarterly at the end of January, April, July and October.

You must notify Incolink of any change in address and contact details. You can do this online or by contacting Incolink on (03) 9639 3000.

Made Redundant?

Redundancy (means losing your job due to a shortage of work).

If you are made redundant during your apprenticeship and your apprenticeship is formally terminated, and you have worked on commercial construction sites, you may be entitled to a redundancy payment from Incolink.

This entitlement depends on the number of days you worked on commercial sites and the year of your apprenticeship. To check your eligibility call (03) 9639 3000 and quote your membership number.

If you become unemployed (known as “Out of Trade”) you can also contact the Incolink Member Services Department. Their job is to help unemployed apprentices to gain employment so that their apprenticeship can be completed. This is a free service and they can be contacted on (03) 9668 3061.
