Redundancy Advice
As expert redundancy lawyers in Melbourne, it means you will find yourself in safe legal hands should you be faced with dealing with the difficult situation of having been forced to leave your job.
Redundancy is a sad fact of life, but laws are in place that are designed to safeguard employees to ensure that this is not a situation that employers can abuse. However, the truth is that so many people are unaware of the laws surrounding redundancy. That ultimately means people miss out on compensation that they may be due as part of their redundancy package, and that is something that should never happen.
But the days of simply accepting your situation, and feeling that there was no real legal support around are long gone. You have the right to seek the correct legal advice if you are to rightfully claim what belongs to you if facing redundancy.
Why You Need Legal Advice?
Various reasons exist as to why you need to seek legal advice should you even be faced with the threat of redundancy. Exactly where you stand from a legal point of view can vary depending on the actual situation, and that’s why you need to seek legal advice from a team of lawyers that are experts in handling redundancy issues.
At times, some employees may feel forced into being made redundant as companies cut their workforce in order to save costs. There are a myriad of laws surrounding such a situation to ensure that you are not abused or lose out on things that are rightfully yours even in these difficult times.
You may be in line for a redundancy package which contains compensation, but is the compensation fair to you? Is it even in line with your employment contract?
The problem is that companies often want to do as little as possible when dealing with redundancy issues. They want to avoid paying out as much money as they can, and that’s where having a lawyer on your side is useful.
If you are currently in this type of situation and you would like to know more about where you stand, then stop stressing or worrying about it. Call us today to speak to one of our redundancy law experts who will listen carefully to your situation, and then advise you on the correct course of action to be taken.
The Law is Clear
The laws surrounding the issue of redundancy in the workplace are very clear. The package that you are legally entitled to depends on both the size of the company you work for, as well as the length of time you have been employed.
However, as long as you have been at the same place of work for more than 12 continuous months, then laws are in place to protect you at this time.
But here’s the problem. People may hear of things such as Commonwealth workplace laws, but do you know what that entails?
It’s important to have the correct legal backing whether you are a company looking to reduce the size of the workforce, or an employee who is facing losing their job through no fault of their own.
No matter which side of the equation you are on, it’s essential that you receive the correct legal advice before you proceed and make any decisions.
While the law is clear to us as redundancy law experts, we accept that it’s harder for individuals without any legal background. For that reason alone, we urge you to call us today should you be dealing with a potential redundancy issue either as an employer or an employee.
