Has your business received an unfair dismissal claim filed with the Fair Work Commission (FWC)? This Emplawyer Empower Tool will point you in the right direction.
Most Australian private sector employees, and some public sector employees, can bring an unfair dismissal claim, provided that they have worked at your business for at least the minimum “continuous service” period (6 months for large businesses, 12 months for small businesses with fewer than 15 employees, excluding genuine casuals), and either:
- earn less than the high income threshold (which as at the date of preparing this tool, $167,500 per annum), excluding compulsory superannuation; or
- are covered by an award or enterprise agreement.
This guide explores:
- How does the filing process work?
- What does a conciliation involve?
- What is the most likely outcome of a conciliation conference?
- Should I get legal assistance with the claim?
- What are the typical costs involved?
