Prepare now to avoid legal and financial risks later
Most sensible managers understand that they can’t just tell an employee “you’re fired”.
But even if you deal with an employee dismissal in a civil and prudent manner, if you’re not entirely familiar with every detail of the law, you can leave yourself open to an extremely costly legal claim.
The cost of merely defending an unfair dismissal claim can be tens of thousands of dollars, especially when an out-of-court settlement is agreed to.
And more cases are being formally heard by the Fair Work Commission. In the 2016-2017 financial year, the FWC reported over 7000 settlements involving money, including over 30 where the employee received a payout in excess of $40,000.
