3. THE FEDERAL SYSTEM |
 |
ARE YOU IN THE RIGHT SECTION OF THIS GUIDE?
If you have not already done so, please complete the CHECKLIST in Section 2. |
In the Federal system, there are two main ways to challenge your termination. Claims can be made for unfair dismissal, unlawful termination (eg; discrimination), or both. You can also make a claim for payment if you haven't been given the correct notice or payment in lieu of notice. Information on unfair dismissal is explained in this section. Information on unlawful termination is in section 3.4 and information on a claim for payment of notice is in section 3.6. All three types of claims are made on the same form and lodged with the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC).
