What it means for employers

Employers must ensure they follow fair processes when ending employment. Dismissals must be clearly documented and justified, as failing to do so can lead to legal action.

What it means for employees

Employees who believe they have been unfairly dismissed or subjected to adverse action should consider seeking legal advice and making an application to the Fair Work Commission.
