No you don't need to know the award. If your claim has gone into DEWR there should be an insolvency practitioner involved (if the company is actually insolvent). Let them, or DEWR, work it out. Odds are you are not even under an award in our industry. All you have to do is prove what you were getting paid. Please DO call the hotline - 1300 135 040. If they don't put your mind at rest let me know.

I can make a claim from GEERS but need to know what award I am working under. The closest that we can find is the clerical and administrative award. Does anybody know of any other award that might fit technical writing and mathematics education (Not in a school or Tafe) Thanks Jenny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet Taylor" <jtaylor@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 11:16 AM Subject: atw: Advice wanted for a newly unemployed technical writer > The company in which one of our fellow Technical Writers worked has=20 > just been closed.
