Tens of thousands of people each year are let go from their job. If you have lost your job, you might be feeling hard-done-by, helpless and worried about the future.

Was your dismissal legal? Did your employer tell you the real reasons for your dismissal or did they make something up? Where do you go from here?

4 WAYS TO FIX THIS

You have just gone through this difficult experience, so you're probably wondering how on earth you can make this better?

Going through the legal process of challenging your dismissal can often put you in a better position than doing nothing.

While it is rare to get your old job back, the legal process has a number of other solutions which have helped many of our clients heal and move on with their lives.

These are some of the ways that we can help you.

Get Financial Compensation

If you have a claim, you might be entitled to financial compensation.

How much you can get is dependent on your salary, how long you remain unemployed, whether you have experienced emotional distress and what type of claim you bring against your employer.

We can help you determine how much your case is worth.

Get Your Dismissal Reversed

If you have been dismissed for something other than redundancy, then having a dismissal on your own employment record can make it harder to find future work. Future employers might ask you what happened at your job, and you will have to answer honestly.

However, as part of the settlement process, we often get the dismissal reversed. This means that your employer will retrospectively agree that you resigned instead of being dismissed.

This is usually formalised in a settlement agreement. Once you have that, you can legally say at job interviews that you resigned from your old job, instead of saying you were dismissed.

Get A Statement Of Service

Another benefit we often get for our clients is obtaining a statement of service from your former employer.

A statement of service sets out the duties you performed, your role, the length of your employment and your position.

This is helpful when applying for future work as it makes it easier for you to confirm your old position and duties when applying for a new job.

Protect Your Reputation

As part of the settlement process, it is common to get your former employer to agree not to say anything negative about you, and to keep things confidential.

This means that you can rest-assured that you have a legal right to stop your former employer from bad-mouthing you. This is a powerful way to protect your reputation.

How We Can Help

Unfair Dismissal Lawyers

We created a comprehensive guide explaining everything you need to know about unfair dismissal, and we also discuss another termination claim called general protections.

General Protections

Many people have heard of unfair dismissal but not many have heard of general protections. Unlike unfair dismissal, there are far fewer restrictions on who can lodge a general protections claim and there is no compensation cap.

What To Do If You Have Been Dismissed

Losing your job is never easy, but it doesn't have to be the end of the world. This article provides a roadmap of what to do if you have already been dismissed. It details actionable steps you should take immediately after dismissal.

Manager & Executive Dismissals

If you are a manager or an executive, MKI Legal has experience assisting people in your situation deal with the extra complexities arising from your type of dismissals.

Examples Of Common Unlawful Dismissal Scenarios

We examine examples of different circumstances where an employee will likely be successful in a dismissal claim against the company. However, there are many more examples than we could possibly list here.

Redundancy

In this guide, we explain the meaning of genuine redundancy, redundancy pay and what action you can take if you believe that your redundancy wasn't correctly handled by the business.

Notice Final Pay

We discuss some basic information that you should be aware of when reviewing your final pay to ensure you’ve been paid correctly.

Unlawful Termination

An unlawful termination claim can be commenced by an employee who is not in the national system. For example, those employed by a sole trader or an unincorporated partnership in Western Australia (just to name a few).

Bankruptcy Liquidation

We explain what happens if a business goes into liquidation and how to recover your entitlements if the business is unable to pay you.
