Common Employment Law Questions

Can I terminate an employee immediately?

Whether immediate termination is appropriate depends on the facts, the employment terms and the process followed. Obtain advice on the specific circumstances before acting.

What should I do when an employee commits misconduct?

Consider the nature of the allegation, the available information and a fair way to establish what happened. The appropriate steps depend on your workplace and the facts; tailored advice can help you plan a response.

How should I manage poor performance?

Start by clarifying the performance concerns and reviewing relevant records and communications. The best approach depends on the role, history and circumstances, so seek advice on your particular situation.

What should I consider before retrenchment?

Workforce changes involve business, employee and process considerations. Discuss the proposed changes and relevant information with an employment lawyer before deciding on the steps to take.

The next steps depend on the claim, the documents and the stage of the matter. Promptly review the correspondence and obtain advice tailored to the dispute.
