Unfair Dismissal Claims For Employers

Under Australian law, employers must not dismiss an employee unless the dismissal is fair. A dismissal will only be considered fair if it is for a valid reason (such as serious misconduct), and if the employee has been given procedural fairness (such as a chance to explain their side of the story). 

If you are an employer who has dismissed an employee, our workplace lawyers can advise you on whether the dismissal was fair and, if not, what options are available to the employee.

If you have been accused of unfair dismissal, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Employers can be held liable for a range of damages if they are found to have unfairly dismissed an employee, including lost wages, reinstatement of the employee, and legal costs.

Our workplace lawyers can advise you on your obligations as an employer and help you to defend any unfair dismissal claims that may be brought against you. We can also assist with negotiating settlements with employees who have been unfairly dismissed.

Employment Contracts

It is important for all employers to have well-drafted employment contracts in place. Employment contracts set out the rights and obligations of both the employer and the employee and can help to minimize the risk of disputes arising. 

Our workplace lawyers can assist you with drafting employment contracts, or reviewing and updating an existing employment contract, to ensure that they comply with current employment law. We can also advise you on the implications of proposed changes to employment contracts, such as changes to hours of work or salary.

Discrimination and Sexual Harassment

Discrimination and sexual harassment are prohibited under both state and federal law. Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their workplace is free from discrimination and harassment, and to take reasonable steps to prevent such conduct from occurring. 

If you are an employer who has received a complaint of discrimination or harassment, our workplace lawyers can advise you on the appropriate course of action to take, and can represent you in any investigations or proceedings that may arise.

Dispute Resolution — Avoid and Resolve Disputes

Disputes between employers and employees are common, and dispute resolution can be very costly in terms of time, money, and resources. Our workplace lawyers have extensive experience in assisting employers to avoid and resolve employment disputes. 

We can help you to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, and conciliation, and can represent you in court if necessary.
