Unfair Dismissal

Melbourne

Unfair dismissal is when an employee is dismissed from their jobs

in a harsh, unjust or unreasonable manner. The Fair Work

Commission decides on cases where unfair dismissal may have

occurred.

Access to unfair dismissal laws is critical to ensure both that

workers can challenge unfair termination, and to act as a

deterrent to employers who would dismiss workers unfairly and

without regard for the difficulty that termination can cause.

Unfair dismissal laws also play

in important role in creating safe

and fair workplaces. Under new

laws, other than workers who

have not served the necessary

qualifying period, or who earn

over the income threshold, all

workers have access to unfair

dismissal rights.

In cases of termination or proposed termination, employers

should always ensure they observe due process and should discuss

their situation with a qualified consultant.

Unfair dismissals claims in Melbourne:

If an employee believes they have been unfairly dismissed, they

can make a claim for unfair dismissal with the Melbourne

Industrial Relations Commission.

An unfair dismissal occurs where an employee makes an unfair

dismissal remedy application and the Fair Work Commission

finds that:

The employee is dismissed

The dismissal is harsh, unjust or

unreasonable

The dismissal is not a case of

genuine redundancy

The dismissal is not consistent

with the Small Business Fair

Dismissal Code, where the

employee was employed by a

small business
