Terminating Employment Relationships

Steele HR Services can guide you through this process to ensure that you are legally compliant. It is important that you involve us as early as possible so that matters are dealt with correctly. Alternatively, we can construct a training programme for your staff to ensure that they have the knowledge to carry out the process correctly.

Workers who believe that they have been unfairly dismissed can lodge an application with the Commission within 21 days of being sacked. In determining unfair dismissal the Commission may consider things such as

• whether there was a fair and valid reason for the termination
• whether the employee was notified of that reason and given the opportunity to respond
• whether the employee has been notified of any unsatisfactory performance
