Fair Work Help

If you have been unfairly dismissed or underpaid, we can help you. Girardi Human Resources has more than 20 years experience.

Unfair Dismissal
If you have been unfairly dismissed from your job, we can help you:
1. submit an unfair dismissal application;
2. prepare your case; and
3. represent you at Fair Work conciliation and arbitration hearings.

Before an employer can dismiss you
Before an employer can dismiss you, the Fair Work Act 2009, requires that:
1. there is a valid reason for the termination of your employment;

2. in most cases, you have previously been warned (i.e. you understand that if your performance doesn’t improve, your employment could be terminated). This means you have been warned and given a chance to improve with a knowledge of the consequences if you don’t improve;

3. you have not been denied the right to have a support person with you (if you choose to) at the meeting where your employment is likely to be terminated (i.e. you are not ambushed); and

4. after outlining the reason that your employer is considering terminating your employment, they must provide you with the opportunity to respond (i.e. to give your side of the story – to defend yourself), prior to any decision being made.

Underpayment of Wages
Underpayment of wages is a massive and widespread problem. Whether you are still working for an employer that has underpaid you, or you have left the employer, we can help you. If you believe you have been underpaid, we can:
1. work out what you should have been paid and the extent of any underpayments;

2. write letters of demand on your behalf; and

3. assist you with taking action against your employer or former employer, with the assistance of the Fair Work Ombudsman.

For a free 10-minute consultation, call 0421 085 546. After that, you can book in for a half hour or a one-hour consultation. That time can be used to gather information about your case and to submit an unfair dismissal claim, or to draft a letter of demand.
