A ‘genuine’ redundancy occurs when an employer no longer requires the employer’s job to be performed due to operational requirements, and the employer has complied with any obligation imposed by an applicable modern award or enterprise agreement. A redundancy cannot be used to replace an employee and, if this occurs, it could be argued that the employee was dismissed rather than made redundant. If you’re facing a redundancy, or you are considering making a position redundant within your company, Kelly Legal can offer further advice. Please don’t hesitate to contact the team on 4911 0500 to gain further advice.
Whether you’re on the receiving end of an employment termination, or you are the employer wanting to terminate a contract of employment, speaking to an experienced lawyer early on is extremely important. We can consider the situation and the grounds of termination to determine whether there are any legal implications involved. Due to the complexities of employment law, we recommend you contact the team at Kelly Legal on 4911 0500 as soon as possible to confidentially discuss your matter further.
Ensuring your rights as an employer or employee are protected is an important part of your financial security and wellbeing. At Kelly Legal, we can provide specialised legal advice when it comes to industrial relations and employment law to ensure you or your business are being treated fairly in the workplace. We have experience in drafting agreements and contracts for employers and business owners across a range of industries, as well as helping employees understand their rights and reviewing their employment contracts and terms. Enterprise agreements are specific conditions that are set out for one workplace. Kelly Legal can help an employer design and implement these agreements in compliance with legislative requirements, as well as facilitate mediation should there be a dispute. We also work with employers to ensure that modern awards within the Fair Work Act 2009 are being carried out appropriately in the workplace and, alternatively, we may act on behalf of an employee who feels that modern award conditions are not being complied with. If you have a workplace law matter that requires specialised legal advice, contact Kelly Legal for more information.
