Hi I need help. I lost my job because the company collapsed. I have to fill out a proof of dept form but I don't know what I'm entitled to claim and how to give them the evidence. All I have is my last payslip with my annual leave entitlements. The administration is meant to pay me my last pay check but they haven't said when. Do I add that to the dept form just in case? Please help me work this out I'm neurodivergent so I'm struggling. While I have another company luckily take me on this was all of a sudden after they told us it was only voluntary so I'm freaking. I've read a few websites but I don't know what's applicable.

You need a separation certificate, it proves that your job has ended and why. Ask the payroll dept for one.
At this point I don't know if I'll be getting one. I have to prove the dept I'm owed before the company went into administration. But they don't have to provide one at this point from what I've found online. It's been only just over a week since they entered voluntary administration so it's all very confusing.
Your payslip will list any leave and sick leave. Also your pay for days worked that you haven’t been paid for: You then need to look at your contract to see what you’re entitled to if you are sacked due to them closing. This should be redundancy, and the payout is different depending on how many years you’ve worked there. You can also get info from fair work gov.
It’s a proof of debt form. You need to list what you were owed up until the day they made you redundant including annual leave which should be listed on your last payslip. Sadly you will most likely be treated like all other creditor and will only be paid a small percentage you are owed. Don’t forget to check your superannuation and see when they last paid into it. Hopefully they have been diligent with that because if not you will likely not see anything the owe paid to you.
After calculating everything they owe me over 10k 😭. That would be bull if they cheat me.
