What Our Clients Are Saying
What is Unfair Dismissal for Casual Employees?
Unfair dismissal happens when an employee is fired in a way that is harsh, unjust, or unreasonable. Many casual employees believe they don’t have any protection against unfair dismissal because of the flexible nature of casual employment, but that’s not entirely true.
Under the Fair Work Commission, casual workers may be eligible to make an unfair dismissal claim if they meet specific conditions outlined in the Fair Work Act 2009.
While casual workers don’t receive paid entitlements like annual or sick leave, they typically receive a casual loading rate to compensate for this. However, this does not mean they lack protection against unfair dismissal.
Which Casual Staff Are Eligible For Unfair Dismissal Protection?
To make an unfair dismissal claim, casual employees need to meet certain conditions under the Fair Work Act 2009. These include:
Minimum Employment Period
Regular and Systematic Basis
Reasonable Expectation of Ongoing Employment
