Unfair Dismissal and Unlawful Termination
How can I protect my company against Unfair Dismissal and Unlawful Termination claims?
Having a claim lodged against you can be disruptive to your organisation and costly, both in terms of the cost of defending it and the effect it has on you and the people who work for you. For this reason, we would advise an employer to obtain legal advice regarding any proposal to terminate a contract of employment or to make employees redundant, as this can save considerable legal costs and time in the future.
It should also be noted that if a matter reaches Fair Work Australia ("FWA") each party is usually responsible for their own costs, irrespective of the outcome of the decision of the the FWA. This means that it is critical for employers to act swiftly to resolve the matter if possible, before it gets out of hand.
