Frequently Asked Questions
What is adverse action in employment law?
Adverse action occurs when an employer takes action against an employee (such as dismissal, demotion or changing conditions) because the employee exercised a workplace right — such as making a complaint or taking leave.
Can I claim for unpaid wages?
Yes. You can claim unpaid wages, superannuation and entitlements going back 6 years through the Fair Work Commission or courts. The Fair Work Ombudsman can also assist with investigations.
What if my employment contract has unreasonable restrictions?
Restraint of trade clauses must be reasonable to be enforceable. We review your contract and advise whether restrictions on working for competitors are binding — and challenge them if they go too far.
