Am I entitled to AWS if I left the company before AWS is paid?

In situations where an employee has left employment before the AWS is paid. It depends on whether it is clearly provided for in the employment contract or the collective agreement with the unions.

Usually, the contract will indicate that the employee still must in service during the AWS payout.
It is not advisable to indicate that the employee shall not entitled to AWS if they have tendered their resignation, because potentially, this will invite more disputes and employee grievances.
