520 The Protection of Employee Entitlements in Insolvency: An
Australian Perspective is the first detailed analysis of
the law and policy dealing with employee entitlements such
as wages, leave and redundancy payments that are
threatened when companies fail. Although Australia has a
government-funded safety-net scheme, currently known as
the Fair Entitlements Guarantee, it doesn't cover all lost
entitlements for all workers. Some argue that the scheme
removes any incentive for companies to make adequate
provision for their employees' entitlements, increasing
the burden on the taxpayer. As well.
