Have you been unfairly dismissed?
In law, unfair dismissal is a specific term with specific rules.
An unfair dismissal takes place when the employer:
1. Has no valid reason to terminate your employment,
2. Fails to follow a fair and reasonable process before dismissing you, and/or
3. Has not given you a written notice of termination.
You are eligible to lodge a claim with Fair Work Australia if at the time of dismissal you:
1. Completed a minimum employment period of at least 6 months (or one year in the case of an organisation with less than 15 employees)
2. Were earning less than $113,400 per annum.
If you believe that your employer has not followed the rules, you are entitled to take a formal course by seeing an employment lawyer.
