18.01.2022 Find out about your workplace entitlements and obligations if you’re affected by the outbreak of coronavirus. https://coronavirus.fairwork.gov.au/

14.01.2022 Imagine a business sending a pregnant worker home because the company director thinks ‘she looks disgusting’. We recently took a company to court for just that.... The judge found the worker had faced pregnancy discrimination and penalised the business a total of $44,800. Pregnancy discrimination has no place in any Australian workplace. Under the Fair Work Act, it is unlawful for employers to discriminate against employees on the grounds of pregnancy, race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, family or carer’s responsibilities, religion, political opinion, nationality or social origin.

13.01.2022 It's unlawful for a person to take adverse action against another person including for: having or using a workplace right belonging or not belonging to a un...ion taking or not taking part in industrial activity having a protected attribute. So if an employer fired an employee, changed their job to their disadvantage, or injured an employee in their employment (like by not giving their legal entitlements, like pay or leave) or threatened any of these things for the above reasons, it would be unlawful.

11.01.2022 It's best practice for employers to give employees warnings in writing before ending their employment. While an employer doesn't have to give an employee 3 warn...ings (or even 1 warning), they should give the employee a chance to fix any performance issues. If an employer fires an employee who then makes an unfair dismissal claim, the Fair Work Commission (a different agency to us) will usually take this into consideration.

09.01.2022 If your work has experienced a downturn as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, your boss might be able to terminate your employment. The Fair Work Act has req...uirements that employers may have to meet first, and you can’t be dismissed for unlawful reasons. If employment ends, full-time and part-time employees may be entitled to redundancy pay and notice, and should be paid out other entitlements like outstanding wages and accrued annual leave. So make sure you check your entitlements. Casual employees don’t usually get notice or redundancy pay. They should still get their unpaid wages. Our website has more info, including how to get in touch with Services Australia for support, like Centrelink payments: https://coronavirus.fairwork.gov.au//ending-employment-dur Remember, under the Fair Work Act, you can’t be dismissed for calling in sick because you have coronavirus. You also can’t be dismissed due to unlawful discrimination or a reason that is harsh, unjust or unreasonable or another protected right. If this happens to you, you can contact the Fair Work Commission (a different organisation to us) to lodge an application within 21 days.
