“Bad Blood”: Adverse Action and Unfair Dismissal

In the wake of challenging economic circumstances and increasing episodes of poor employee behaviour, employers may be required to make difficult, but necessary, decisions in relation to its workforce.

In the wake of challenging economic circumstances and increasing episodes of poor employee behaviour, employers may be required to make difficult, but necessary, decisions in relation to its workforce.

Decisions to end employment relationships expose employers to adverse action or unfair dismissal claims by aggrieved employees. So, it’s important that employers understand their legal obligations to give themselves the best chance to defend those claims.

Please join our Managing Director and Principal, Athena Koelmeyer as she takes an in-depth look at:

  • the general protections and unfair dismissal jurisdiction of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth);
  • the ‘must know’ HR and legal fundamentals; and
  • real world case examples of successful and failed adverse action and unfair dismissal claims.

This webinar is a “must attend” for those who are responsible for making decisions about the management of employees, including CEOs, COOs, HR professionals and managers.

The webinar will begin at 11.00am (AEST) on Thursday, 5 September 2024.
