Employment Disputes

Employment Dispute

Employment dispute lawyers Gold Coast

Employment disputes can arise in a range of situations and do not always involve termination. The relationship between an employer and employee is governed by legal and contractual obligations, and disputes often arise where there are disagreements about those obligations or how they are applied in practice.

At QBM Lawyers, we assist clients with employment disputes by providing clear, practical advice and working to resolve issues efficiently and effectively.

Employment disputes can be resolved through a range of processes, depending on the nature of the issue. In some cases, matters are dealt with through the Fair Work Ombudsman or the Fair Work Commission. In others, court proceedings may be required.

Types of employment disputes

Common workplace disputes include:
  • Disputes over wages and salary entitlements, including commissions and bonuses
  • Disputes about whether a direction given by an employer is reasonable
  • Disputes relating to post-employment restraints, including non-compete clauses
  • Claims involving adverse action or retaliation, including discrimination or action taken in response to a workplace complaint (general protections matters)
  • Unfair dismissal claims, including disputes about whether a termination was harsh, unjust or unreasonable
  • Claims involving dismissal in breach of general protections, which may be pursued regardless of income threshold
  • Disputes involving termination during the minimum employment period, including probationary periods
  • Disputes about whether a redundancy is genuine
  • Disputes about whether a worker is properly classified as an employee or contractor.

QBM employment dispute lawyers can provide advice to both employers and employees about disputes and the most effective way to resolve them.
