Dear Reader,

Here at the Workplace Helpdesk, I get questions about the new unfair dismissal laws almost every day.

Recently, I’ve been getting questions like these:

• Are my employees exempt from making an unfair dismissal claim?
• How does dismissal relate to redundancy?
• Can casual employees make unfair dismissal claims?

All of these queries relate to laws that have changed since the introduction of the Fair Work Act…

I don’t blame you for being confused by these seemingly never-ending changes – they’re tricky! And the last thing you want to do is overlook something – it could be the difference between an employee making an unfair dismissal claim against you or not!

So how can you be sure you don’t violate the new unfair dismissal laws? By filing away your next Employment Law Practical Handbook update, that’s how! Chapters D2 Dismissal and U1 Unfair Dismissal have been thoroughly updated to include the latest Fair Work Act changes.

If you’re not yet subscriber to the Employment Law Practical Handbook, click here for more information.

Until next time…

Claire
