The Fair Work Act, which came into effect on 1 July 2009, has substantially changed the legal relationship that exist between workers and their employers, particularly in regard to termination of employment, redundancy entitlements, and your rights at work.
For instance, it is now no longer the case (as it was under Work Choices) that you can only bring a claim for unfair dismissal if you were employed with an employer who has at least 100 employees.
If your employment has been terminated or you believe you are being unfairly treated in the workplace, then it is important that you obtain proper advice and assistance.
