Unfair Dismissal Help in Perth & WA
Have you been unfairly dismissed from your job? Unfairly Sacked provides experienced, employee-only representation for unfair dismissal claims in Perth and across Western Australia.
Can I Make an Unfair Dismissal Claim?
You may be eligible to make an unfair dismissal claim if you have been dismissed from your employment and the dismissal was harsh, unjust or unreasonable.
Eligibility depends on several factors, including how long you worked for your employer, whether you were covered by the national workplace relations system, your earnings and the circumstances surrounding your dismissal.
Generally, an employee must have completed the minimum employment period — 6 months, or 12 months if the employer is a small business with fewer than 15 employees.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, Unfairly Sacked can assess the circumstances of your dismissal and explain your options before you lodge with the Fair Work Commission.
What Can Make a Dismissal Unfair?
The Fair Work Commission considers a range of factors when deciding whether a dismissal was harsh, unjust or unreasonable. These can include whether there was a valid reason for dismissal, whether you were properly notified of the allegations, whether you were given a genuine opportunity to respond, and whether a fair procedure was followed.
How Unfairly Sacked Can Help
Unfairly Sacked acts exclusively for employees. We can assess your dismissal, advise you on your options and assist you through the Fair Work Commission process.
Depending on your circumstances, we can assist with preparing and lodging your unfair dismissal application, reviewing the employer's response, preparing for conciliation, negotiating a settlement and representing you during the conciliation process.
With more than 18 years' employment relations and workplace advocacy experience, our focus is on practical advice, clear communication and achieving the best available outcome for your circumstances.
What Outcomes Can Be Negotiated?
Unfair dismissal matters are often resolved through negotiation or Fair Work Commission conciliation. Depending on the circumstances, settlement terms may include financial compensation, resignation in place of termination, a statement or certificate of service, confidentiality and non-disparagement terms.
Every matter is different, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
21-DAY DEADLINE
Most unfair dismissal applications must be lodged with the Fair Work Commission within 21 days after the dismissal takes effect. If you have been dismissed, get advice as soon as possible.
