Unfair Dismissal and Adverse Action Briefings
New changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 allow employees to bring adverse action claims against their employer. There is no cap on compensation for these claims and general protection provisions are not subject to the same jurisdictional requirements that apply to unfair dismissal claims. This means that these claims can - and are - being lodged regardless of length and type of employment.
