How do clients rate employment lawyers in Australia?
Pretty well. 483 of the 700 rated firms hold 4.5 stars or better. The average is 4.5.
How long do I have to lodge an unfair dismissal claim?
In most cases you have 21 days from the date your dismissal takes effect to lodge a claim with the Fair Work Commission. The deadline is strict, so it is important to act quickly and get advice early.
Do I have to accept a redundancy?
A genuine redundancy is a lawful reason for ending employment, but it must follow the correct process and pay the right entitlements. If the role is not genuinely redundant or consultation was skipped, you may have a claim. A lawyer can review your situation.
Can an employment lawyer help me negotiate an exit?
Yes. Lawyers regularly negotiate deeds of release and settlement terms covering pay, references and confidentiality, often resolving a dispute without the need for a formal claim.
