1. Unfair Dismissal
Melbourne
Unfair dismissal is when an employee is dismissed from their jobs
in a harsh, unjust or unreasonable manner. The Fair Work
Commission decides on cases where unfair dismissal may have
occurred.
Access to unfair dismissal laws is critical to ensure both that
workers can challenge unfair termination, and to act as a
deterrent to employers who would dismiss workers unfairly and
without regard for the difficulty that termination can cause.

2. Unfair dismissal laws also play
in important role in creating safe
and fair workplaces. Under new
laws, other than workers who
have not served the necessary
qualifying period, or who earn
over the income threshold, all
workers have access to unfair
dismissal rights.
In cases of termination or proposed termination, employers
should always ensure they observe due process and should discuss
their situation with a qualified consultant.
Unfair dismissals claims in Melbourne:
If an employee believes they have been unfairly dismissed, they
can make a claim for unfair dismissal with the Melbourne
Industrial Relations Commission.

3. An unfair dismissal occurs where an employee makes an unfair
dismissal remedy application and the Fair Work Commission
finds that:
 The employee is dismissed
 The dismissal is harsh, unjust or
unreasonable
 The dismissal is not a case of
genuine redundancy
 The dismissal is not consistent
with the Small Business Fair
Dismissal Code, where the
employee was employed by a
small business
