Wrongful Dismissal Australia
Wrongful dismissal is a specific type of termination where an employer discharges an employee in breach of their employment contract or statutory provisions. This legal concept typically implies a lack of proper notice or a failure to follow the explicit terms outlined in the employment agreement. While it is distinct from an unfair dismissal claim under the Fair Work Act, a wrongful dismissal often involves a serious failure of procedural fairness and can lead to significant legal disputes if the termination is proven to be unjustified or without proper legal cause.
