Frequently Asked Questions
Do you act for employers or employees?
HintonFlynn Legal primarily advises employers, business owners, HR professionals and managers on employment law and workplace relations matters.
Do I need to give 3 warnings before I can dismiss an employee?
No. It is a myth that an employer must give an employee 3 strikes (or warnings) before dismissing them.
The appropriate process will depend on the circumstances. While warnings are often an important part of managing poor performance, particularly if an employee can access the unfair dismissal jurisdiction of the Fair Work Commission, the law does not prescribe a set number of warnings that must be issued before termination.
What is the difference between an unfair dismissal claim and a general protections claim?
An unfair dismissal claim focuses on whether:
- There was a valid reason for dismissal; and
- The employee was afforded procedural fairness.
A general protections claim examines whether adverse action was taken because an employee exercised a workplace right or possessed a protected attribute.
General protections claims can be more complex and costly because there is no compensation cap and the employer often bears the burden of proving the true reason for its conduct.
