Employment Disputes For Employees in Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane

If you are an employee

When disputes arise between employers and employees, it can be an unpleasant and trying time for everyone involved. We appreciate that when the employment relationship turns sour, it can cause a great deal of stress and disruption.

Resolving the dispute quickly and with discretion, is generally in the best interest of both the employee and the employer. When an employment dispute arises, it’s best to contact an experienced employee lawyer for legal advice as soon as possible.

As an employee you may have rights under the employment contract or legislation that can be enforced to resolve things quickly and effectively. Some claims such as unfair dismissal must be made within certain timeframes. If you are uncertain it is best to make contact with a lawyer and get advice on what your legal options are.

We have helped clients in employment law cases such as:

unfair dismissal claims and general protections claims
negotiating terms of employment contract
enforcing discretionary entitlements and bonus schemes
reinstatement of benefits and entitlements
negotiating terms of settlement
employee shareholder disputes
restraint of trade disputes
workplace bullying, harassment, and discrimination
workplace investigations and disciplinary processes.

Why do you need an employment lawyer?

Getting a lawyer involved in your employment dispute doesn’t necessarily mean that the matter will go to Court. Discussing your case with an experienced employment lawyer can help you to understand where you stand and what your rights are.

An employee lawyer will be able to quickly identify the legal issues and provide you with options. Employment law is nuanced and not all commercial lawyers fully are experienced and fully understand employee rights. Getting the right employment law expert is important for getting the best advice.

A seasoned employment lawyer will be able to correspond with the other party to negotiate a settlement and resolve the dispute quickly.

Where agreement can’t be reached it is referred on to the Fair Work Commission (or other independent body) for determination. From there your lawyer will work with you through the process, documentation and appearances to help you get the best outcome in all the circumstances.

Our employment lawyers in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane have a proven track record of getting results for our clients. We have provided employees with expert advice and representation on a wide range of complex employment issues.

Out of speaking to two other lawyers you were the only one to give me any genuine advice.

Tiffany J / Melbourne

If I had of gone to another law firm that was cheaper I may have saved many thousands of dollars but as it turns out I may have lost a lot more than that upon settlement. Using a firm such as PCL lawyers I had the peace of mind that each issue as it arose was dealt with in a very matter of fact way and to the letter of the law.
