Services
Unfair Dismissal Claims
We handle unfair dismissal cases from initial assessment through tribunal representation. Our advocates specialize in meeting strict 21-day filing deadlines and securing outcomes like reinstatement or compensation. With decades of experience in Fair Work Commission proceedings, we help workers challenge unjust terminations while guiding employers on compliance.
Workplace Bullying Resolution
Our team addresses workplace bullying through formal complaints and tribunal applications. We assist workers in documenting incidents and pursuing anti-bullying orders while helping employers develop prevention policies. Cases often involve negotiating settlements and ensuring compliance with national workplace safety standards.
Income Protection Claims
We recover income protection benefits under employment agreements and superannuation policies. Our advocates identify coverage gaps, challenge denied claims, and secure payments for workers unable to work due to injury or illness. This includes cases involving both private insurers and statutory schemes.
Redundancy Entitlements
We assess redundancy validity and recover unpaid entitlements through conciliation or tribunal action. Our services include challenging sham redundancies, calculating owed payments, and negotiating redeployment options. We specialize in cases involving failure to consider redeployment opportunities.
Award Compliance Reviews
Our experts identify underpayments from award breaches, including incorrect classifications and missed penalties. We recover back-pay for workers and advise employers on compliance updates. This includes complex cases involving performance bonuses, leave entitlements, and industry-specific awards.
