Legal Guidance on Unfair Dismissal Matters in Sydney
Heathfield Grosvenor Lawyers provides assistance for employees and employers affected by unfair dismissal in accordance with the Fair Work Act (Cth) 2009.
To be eligible for a claim, employees must be employed for more than 6-months by an employer with more than 15-employees, or more than 12-months for an employer with fewer than 15-employees.
In line with the Fair Work Act (Cth) 2009, there are three types of dismissal claims that employees may make against an employer: unfair dismissal, unlawful termination and general protections dismissal.
Our Sydney based unfair dismissal law experts act for both employees and employers who meet the requisite criteria. If you have a valid claim, our lawyers will provide balanced advice on a fixed-fee basis to ensure a timely and cost-effective outcome for your matter.
Unfair Dismissal Claim Eligibility
In order to be eligible to file an unfair dismissal claim, employees must meet the following criteria:
- If your employer has fewer than 15-employees, you must work for them for a continuous period of at least 12-months to be eligible for an unfair dismissal claim.
- If your employer has more than 15-employees, you must work for them for a continuous period of at least 6-months to be eligible to make an unfair dismissal claim.
Before proceeding with your claim, our unfair dismissal and fair work lawyers will carefully review the facts of the case to ensure that the claim is valid and meets the criteria set out under the Fair Work Act (Cth) 2009.
For employees that believe that they have a claim for unfair dismissal, it is important to act fast. There is a strict 21-day limit for making an unfair dismissal claim. Any claims that are lodged outside of this period may only be considered by the Fair Work Commission or a State Commission under exceptional circumstances.
The Fair Work Commission will consider the unique circumstances of your case when deciding if a dismissal was harsh, unjust, or unreasonable. Before making an unfair dismissal claim, it’s important to seek legal guidance to understand your eligibility and receive tailored advice for your circumstances.
