What Our Clients Are Saying
Understanding Redundancy
Redundancy occurs when an employer decides that a role is no longer needed due to operational requirements. This can happen for various reasons, including changes to the business structure, technology, or a decline in workload. Under Australian employment law, redundancy must meet specific criteria to be considered a genuine redundancy.
When redundancies do not follow proper procedures, employees may feel unfairly treated. Filing an unfair dismissal claim through the Fair Work Commission allows employees to contest the decision. If successful, employees may receive compensation or reinstatement of their role, so understanding the redundancy process is essential. Seeking legal advice from an experienced lawyer ensures you are aware of your legal rights and entitlements during this time.
Employee Rights and Entitlements During Redundancy.
When facing redundancy, employees are entitled to specific benefits under Australian employment laws. Understanding these redundancy entitlements can help ensure that you receive everything you are legally owed.
