An Employee's Guide to Unfair Dismissal
Do you think you have been unfairly dismissed from your job?
If so, there may be something you can do about it. There are both federal and New South Wales unfair dismissal laws that allow you to make a claim to get your job back or to be compensated if you have been unfairly or unlawfully dismissed.
This guide looks at both the state and federal laws and provides a step-by-step overview of how each system works.
Please note this website applies only to residents and the law of New South Wales, Australia as at August 2007.
