At Foye Legal, we understand that losing your job can be a distressing experience, especially if the circumstances seem unfair, unreasonable, or harsh. If you believe your dismissal falls into this category, you may be eligible to make a claim for unfair dismissal. Our experienced employment lawyers are here to guide you through this complex legal process with expertise and compassion.
Under the Fair Work Act 2009 or relevant state legislation, you may have grounds for an unfair dismissal claim if you were dismissed under circumstances that are:
Dismissal includes situations where your employment was terminated by your employer’s decision or if you were forced to resign due to your employer’s conduct, leaving you no reasonable option but to resign (constructive dismissal).
Most employees are eligible to make a claim, but specific criteria must be met. Claims are assessed by the Fair Work Commission or a State Industrial Relations Commission, which considers all relevant materials and evidence to determine whether a dismissal was harsh, unjust, or unreasonable.
Our expert team will carefully evaluate your circumstances and guide you on your eligibility and the steps involved in making a claim.
If you are a gig worker in the road transport industry (e.g., Uber or similar platforms) and believe you have been unfairly terminated, you may also have the right to challenge your dismissal through the Fair Work Commission.
