Unfair dismissal is when an employee is dismissed from their job in an unreasonable and unjust manner. 

Experiencing unfair dismissal can have a large impact on yourself and those around you. At Kelly Legal, we can consider your individual circumstances and help you decide whether to commence a claim. 

Important Information

• An employee has 21 days from the date of dismissal to commence an application. 

There are some important points we need to assess before lodging a claim:

• Employees have to be employed for at least 6 months before they can commence an unfair dismissal claim if the employer has 15 or more employees.
• Employees have to be employed for at least 12 months before they can commence an unfair dismissal claim if the employer has fewer than 15 employees. 

Once you have decided to go ahead with making a claim, we can act on your behalf by lodging an application with the Fair Work Commission or the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission. 

Don’t hesitate to talk to the team at Kelly Legal so we can reduce any confusion or complexities with unfair dismissals.
