Navigating Termination of Employment: Latest Developments

Termination of employment can be challenging and risky for employers.

Join us as we explore the latest developments, including:

- The rise in unfair dismissal, general protections, and discrimination claims;
- Greater scrutiny of procedural fairness and investigation processes;
- The impact of psychosocial factors;
- The enhanced expectations around redeployment in redundancy;
- Challenges to the reasons for dismissal and the identification of decision-makers in general protections claims;
- Issues arising from employees' political opinions at work and on social media;
- The increasing use of artificial intelligence in claims;
- Changes to Fair Work Commission processes; and
- Anticipated reforms affecting post-employment restraints.

This seminar will provide practical guidance to help employers navigate these and other developments in relation to termination of employment.
