Employment law

Many people can expect at some stage in their careers to have to take professional advice from an employment lawyer. This may be before you start a new job, while you’re doing it, or when you leave.

Having heard too often and too late, “I wish I’d found out about this before now,” we know it’s vital to address critical issues before they become a major problem.

Our employment lawyers are dedicated advocates for fairness in the workplace, and in your career. You give your valuable time, skills, talents, and reputations to the service of your employer, so we work with you to ensure you get rewarded fairly, and can continue to work productively.

Based on your circumstances, you might be eligible for:

• Unpaid wages due to underpayment
• Financial compensation
• Reinstatement of your job
• Review of unfair decisions

Take Prompt Action

Certain cases have strict deadlines. For instance, unfair dismissal claims typically have a 21-day limit. Contact us immediately to ensure you have expert legal representation on your side.

Your Workplace Rights

Employees have specific rights regarding work hours, breaks, and conditions, which are detailed in awards, registered agreements, or employment contracts.

Minimum entitlements are outlined in the National Employment Standards (NES) and applicable awards. While registered agreements or contracts can offer additional benefits, they must not provide less than what is stipulated in the NES or relevant award.

If these standards are not met by your employer, you may have grounds for a claim.
