I'm after some thoughts from others who have hopefully been in a similar situation to this before.

We have a worker being made redundant shortly who is currently on workcover. No issues with the redundancy or the workcover, the whole site of 30 workers are all being made redundant due to site closure and the workcover all seems legit.

The question I have is we need to continue to make the workcover payments post the redundancy date. If the redundancy payments are made on the actual date of redundancy and we then continue to make the workcover payments after this date, is there any potential issues that those who have dealt with similar situations can forsee?

I'm still processing the whole leave accrual process and researching whether we would continue to accrue leave and if we do whether we need to withhold paying any leave out at the time of the redundancy payment.

State is Victoria if that has any bearing, EBA conditions apply
