What Our Clients Are Saying
What is unfair dismissal?
Unfair dismissal occurs when your termination of employment is harsh, unreasonable, or unjust. Under the Fair Work Act 2009, this could include situations where:
You were dismissed without a valid reason related to your performance or conduct.
You weren’t given a fair opportunity to respond to allegations before being dismissed.
Your employer didn’t follow the correct process or proper procedures.
It’s also considered constructive dismissal if you were forced to resign due to serious issues like workplace bullying, unsafe conditions, or a breach of your employment contract.

Possible Outcomes For
Unfair Dismissal Claims
When you lodge an unfair dismissal claim with the Fair Work Commission, the outcomes depend on the specifics of your case. The goal is to achieve a fair resolution that addresses the injustice of your dismissal.
Reinstatment to Your Former Position
If your dismissal is found to be unfair and reinstatement is considered practical for both you and your employer, you may be returned to your former position. This is often the preferred remedy under the Fair Work Act, as it restores the employment relationship wherever possible.
Financial Compensation
When reinstatement isn’t a suitable option, you may be awarded financial compensation for the income you’ve lost. The amount is determined based on several factors, including the length of your employment, your efforts to secure alternative work, and the financial impact on your employer.
Agreement Through Mediation
Many unfair dismissal matters are resolved through mediation or conciliation. These discussions often lead to mutually agreed outcomes, such as a financial settlement or changes to your employment records, without the need for a formal hearing.
Private Settlement
In some cases, a private settlement may be reached directly between you and your employer. This approach can offer a quicker and more flexible resolution, often involving a negotiated agreement
