Common questions
Questions clients ask about employment & labour law
Can an employer terminate employment without notice?
Only where the contract permits summary dismissal for defined grounds. Otherwise termination without the required notice or pay in lieu is a breach of contract.
What is wrongful termination?
Termination that does not follow the terms of the employment contract, such as failure to give the required notice, pay in lieu, or observe the contractual procedure.
What remedies are available to an employee?
Primarily damages measured by the contractual entitlements. Reinstatement is exceptional and depends on the circumstances.
Why should a business have workplace policies?
Clear, documented policies support lawful discipline, reduce disputes and help a business demonstrate that procedures were fair and consistently applied.
These answers provide general information only and are not legal advice. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence and applicable law of each matter.
