Our Services
We are passionate about assisting employees who have been treated poorly in the workplace. We provide expert unfair dismissal representation before the Fair Work Commission and use our negotiation skills to secure the best outcome for you. That includes clearing your name so that it becomes easier for you to get another job.
We are different from the others. We are taking a fresh approach to unfair dismissal representation.
Unlike some organisations, we do not represent employers. Our services are reserved for employees who need a representative to help secure the best possible outcome in their unfair dismissal case.
We will consider representing any employee, not just those on higher incomes. Some unfair dismissal representatives only assist those with higher earnings, so they can charge higher fees. That’s not fair. Unfair dismissal legislation was enacted to assist the most vulnerable employees. This means being willing to represent those employees on lower incomes who find it difficult to enforce their workplace rights and may not be in a strong bargaining position. Unfair Dismissals Direct is committed to achieving fairness for all employees, not just those who can afford to pay expensive lawyers. Our client engagement practices reflect this commitment.
One of our unfair dismissal experts will undertake a confidential and free assessment of your case, considering the information you provide. If we believe you have a claim for unfair dismissal and we are able to assist, we will offer to represent you on a “No Win No Fee” basis, on our standard terms. It’s that simple. Unlike some organisations, we will pay the filing fee charged by the court or tribunal for making your application. That means one less worry for you.
After you have retained us, we will complete all documentation and lodge your claim, ensuring your application is prepared with precision and that your former employer becomes aware that you are competently represented. Your employer knowing this has the potential to add thousands of dollars to a compensation payment, because their lawyers are likely to take this into account when advising the employer.
We correspond with your former employer or their solicitors and negotiate on your behalf. You do not have to speak during the conference, unless you want to. We do all the heavy lifting for you.
4 out of 5 unfair dismissal claims resolve by agreement between the parties without the need for a formal hearing. If your matter resolves by agreement, we will finalise the settlement formalities and arrange for any compensation and other benefits to be provided to you. Should your case fail to resolve, we will explain the process to you and clearly outline your options going forward.
