Termination and redundancy

Termination and redundancy are a part of every business. Statutorily regulated systems (awards and registered agreements etc) and the common law (contracts) impact on termination. There are also a number of statutes that impose minimum standards that have to be met in relation to any termination situation (eg anti-discrimination laws).

Unlawful dismissal actions are still available against any employer dismissing an en employee on prohibited grounds- eg dismissal based on age discrimination.
