Understanding Unfair Dismissal Claims

Under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), an unfair dismissal claim may arise where a dismissal is harsh, unjust, or unreasonable, discriminatory, or where an employer fails to follow a fair process. Eligible employees must lodge their unfair dismissal application with the Fair Work Commission within 21 days of the dismissal taking effect. An experienced employment termination lawyer can help assess whether your circumstances meet the eligibility criteria and identify the strongest grounds for your claim before this strict deadline passes.

Outcomes and Compensation

Where a dismissal is found to be unfair, the Fair Work Commission may order reinstatement, or an unfair dismissal payout calculated with reference to lost remuneration, subject to a statutory cap. The amount of unfair dismissal compensation awarded depends on factors including length of service, efforts to mitigate loss, and the circumstances of the dismissal. Engaging an employment lawyer for unfair dismissal early ensures your claim is properly evidenced and negotiated, whether resolved at conciliation or through a formal hearing.
