Many employers have trouble navigating their way through the complex web that is Australia’s industrial relations laws. Employers are recognising that should their decision be wrong, due to lack of information on what the law requires, they are exposed to fines and penalties from the authorities.
Something as simple as not providing an employee a measure of procedural fairness when dismissing the employee from employment may prove costly if the employer is unaware of how to manage this process.
