Termination of employment - skills series
Termination of employment is more than the end of a working relationship—it’s a critical moment where rights, responsibilities, and protections converge.
This course takes you through the legal landscape of employment termination, from the employer’s obligations during dismissal to the employee’s rights when initiating a resignation. You'll uncover the nuances of general protections, essential procedures, and the pathways to resolution through settlements and enforcement.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Articulate the legal framework governing dismissal applications, focusing on the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and the role of the Fair Work Commission.
- Identify employer rights for terminating employment contracts with or without notice, and assess alternative termination methods such as resignation or redundancy.
- Assess workplace scenarios for compliance with anti-discrimination legislation and evaluate employee rights under general protections.
- Outline the dismissal application process and explore settlement options, while understanding the Fair Work Ombudsman’s role and the types of payments available upon termination.
