Unfair Dismissal

Under Australian law, an employer cannot terminate an employee without a lawful reason. If a person is dismissed without cause or reason, there may be a claim for unfair dismissal.

You are protected from being wrongfully terminated as an employee, and your employer must establish a potentially fair reason for the dismissal. For example, common fair reasons would be workplace conduct, performance capability, or breaching of the law.

Not everyone is protected against unfair dismissal. There are some eligibility criteria before bringing a claim against an employer. If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, you should contact Buenaventura Law immediately to discuss the events before and after your employment was terminated. We offer unparalleled unfair dismissal legal advice and will fight for your fair compensation.

Workplace Harrasment

Workplace harassment is more common than you might think and can have a devastating emotional and physical toll on those who are victims.

Workplace harassment covers vast scenarios of unwanted conduct that can be intentional or unintentional. Be that age, sexual orientation, race, disability, religion or belief, which has the purpose or effect of violating the worker’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for the worker. At Buenaventura Law, we can assist clients who have been victims of workplace harassment.

Workplace harassment is a complicated legal scenario as it can often involve more than just one party. Supporting evidence such as dates, emails, and messages is critical to proving the harassment occurred.

It doesn’t matter if the harasser didn’t intend the conduct to have this effect, but a worker is not protected if it is not reasonable for them to perceive the treatment as harassment.

Workplace Discrimination

Unfortunately, workplace discrimination is now occurring in a more significant percentage of workplaces than ever.

Discrimination in the workplace generally falls into two main categories, intentional and unintentional, both of which can have devastating effects on the victim.

As an employee, you have the fundamental right not to be discriminated against at work, and simply by being treated differently, you might be being discriminated against.

Workplace discrimination isn’t just limited to two parties. Still, it can often involve the company as a whole, so if you believe you are a victim of workplace discrimination, you must contact an experienced employment lawyer such as Buenaventura Law.
