When an employee believes they’ve been treated unfairly because they exercised, or intended to exercise, a workplace right, they can bring a general protections claim to either the Fair Work Commission or the courts.
We help both employers and employees better understand the strength of the claim, manage the process daily, and resolve the matter in a way that protects both legal and commercial interests.
General protections matters can carry significant legal and financial consequences because they focus on why action was taken, not just whether it seemed unfair. We help clients identify the real issues early, assess the evidentiary position, and respond in a way that protects both legal rights and broader workplace interests.
