Who can bring a claim against you?

An employee, who earns less than $133,000 and is not covered by an award or enterprise agreement, is entitled to bring an unfair dismissal claim within 21 days of their being dismissed.

What is the test?

An employee can bring a claim if their dismissal was harsh, unjust or unreasonable. An employee only needs to prove one of the elements, in other words, they only need to claim that the dismissal was either unjust or harsh or unreasonable. A dismissal may be:

unjust because the employee was not guilty of the alleged misconduct
unreasonable because the evidence or material before the employer did not support the conclusion
harsh on the employee due to the economic and personal consequences resulting from being dismissed, or
harsh because the outcome is disproportionate to the gravity of the misconduct (the punishment does not fit the crime).

How we will help?

We will meet with you to discuss any defence to the claim, and how to best approach the claim both legally and commercially.

The Difference Is In Our Level Of Experience Defending The Most Difficult Cases & Our Rigorous Approach To Each Matter

I have known Brett Samuel and Rosendorff Lawyers for over 18 months. Brett is a commercially astute lawyer who provides excellent service, quick turnaround, responsive and useful advice and above all understands that clients expect results not just legal gobbledygook.

I have referred Brett to a number of clients requiring commercial legal expertise and each has commented on his service and value for money approach to the law.

I have also personally engaged Brett on a number of commercial and private matters and have found him to be an excellent ally. His advice is highlighted by providing options to the client but importantly, recommending a course of action that minimises risk and maximises outcomes. To date this approach has proven to be very valuable and what I, as a client, expects.

I have no hesitation in recommending Brett for any commercial matter that you need advice on.

I have used the services of Rosendorff Lawyers for a number of years now and have found them to be a great asset to my Business Sunburst Group. Their advice concerning contractual law and from time to time commercial litigation has been indispensable. Brett Samuel is always a pleasure to deal with as he is meticulous in his research prior to any legal action we might be considering. My association with Rosendorff Lawyers has helped my business to make the correct informeddecisions and in doing so has enabled me to save many thousands of dollars that otherwise uniformed decisions may have cost me.
