Termination of Employment
The termination of employment is complex in a number of Modern Awards under the Fair Work Act and further complex in the Building and Construction Industry that is significantly different from the community standards with industry-specific arrangements, conditions and allowances.
We assist a wide number of Employers across all industries including construction with questions, payroll advice and operations of these Awards.
Each termination is different, and therefore it is crucial to understand the potential risks that may result from terminating an employee’s employment.
Potential claims an employee may make include:
- Adverse Action
- Discrimination
- Harassment
- Unfair dismissal claim
- General protection claim
- Workers Compensation claim
- Underpayment claim
- Breach of contract claim

The risks of a claim can be managed through Time, Administrative Processes and good strategy.
