**Answer**

- **(a) Minimum notice of termination: 4 weeks** — under s 117(3) of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), an employee with more than 5 years of continuous service is entitled to 4 weeks' notice. The additional week for employees over 45 years of age with at least 2 years' service does not apply, as the employee is under 45. As the employer is paying out the notice period, this is payment in lieu of 4 weeks' notice (s 117(2)(b)).

- **(b) Redundancy pay: 11 weeks** of base pay — under s 119(2) of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), an employee with at least 6 years but less than 7 years of continuous service is entitled to 11 weeks' redundancy pay. Redundancy pay applies here because the employer is not a small business employer (the small business exclusion in s 121 does not operate).

**Controlling Act:** Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) — notice scale in **s 117**, redundancy pay scale in **s 119**.
