Employment Law in Avondale Heights — FAQs
I was dismissed from a job in Avondale Heights — do I have a claim?
You may have an unfair dismissal or general protections claim. To be eligible for unfair dismissal, you must have worked for your employer for at least 6 months (12 months for small business), be covered by the Fair Work Act, and not have been dismissed for genuine redundancy. The 21-day deadline from dismissal is strict — contact Ebra Partners immediately to assess your claim.
What is the 21-day unfair dismissal deadline?
Under the Fair Work Act, an unfair dismissal application must be lodged with the Fair Work Commission within 21 calendar days of dismissal taking effect. Missing this deadline is almost always fatal to your claim — the Commission has very limited power to grant extensions. If you have been dismissed in Avondale Heights, call us today on 1800 845 143.
My employer says my redundancy was genuine — is that always correct?
Not necessarily. A redundancy is only "genuine" under the Fair Work Act if the employer no longer requires the job to be performed, the employer has complied with consultation obligations under any applicable award or enterprise agreement, and it was not reasonably possible to redeploy you. We regularly find that employers in Northern Melbourne have not followed proper process. If your role has been filled by someone else, or you weren't consulted, your redundancy may not be genuine.
Can you help employers in Avondale Heights with employment compliance?
Yes. We advise Avondale Heights businesses on all aspects of employer obligations — from drafting compliant employment contracts and managing performance processes, to handling redundancies and responding to Fair Work Commission claims. Getting employment law right from the start protects your business from costly disputes.
