When a worker’s employment may be terminated, it is important to consider the requirements of legislation, modern awards and the contract of employment.
Employment claims are often triggered by an employee’s disappointment with how their employment was terminated, and may include:
- Unfair dismissal claims;
- Underpaid entitlements claims;
- General protections claims;
- Breach of contract claims;
- Workers’ compensation claims;
- Discrimination claims.
In some situations it can be suitable to attempt to reach mutual terms of agreement about employment termination. It is recommended to record the terms in a written agreement that gives certainty to both parties and ensures a ‘clean break’, often called a Deed of Release for Employment Termination.
