Frequently Asked Questions About Unfair Dismissal
How do I know if my dismissal was unfair?
If your termination was harsh, unjust or unreasonable or lacked proper process, it may be considered unfair under the Fair Work Act. Each case is unique, so it’s essential to seek legal advice.
What if I resigned but felt forced to?
This is known as constructive dismissal. If you resigned due to your employer’s actions (e.g. bullying, demotion, unsafe conditions), you may still be eligible to claim unfair dismissal.
What compensation can I receive?
Remedies may include reinstatement or compensation (typically capped at 26 weeks’ pay). The outcome depends on your circumstances and losses suffered.
Can I still claim if I was on probation?
Probationary employees may not qualify under unfair dismissal laws, but you may still have rights under general protections or your employment contract. Let us assess your situation.
