Fact Sheet: Unfair Dismissal – lodgement dates, the application process and help available

Date published

During the holidays, termination of employment remains a sad reality for some. Employees need to be aware of legal remedies available, as well as time limits that may apply. These time limits may be affected by public holidays.

If an employee wishes to lodge an unfair dismissal application, they must do so within 21 days of their dismissal; however, weekends and public holidays may affect the lodgement period – but only where the weekend or public holiday (or substitute public holiday) falls on the 21st day.

This fact sheet discusses the process of submitting an unfair dismissal application over the holiday period, and highlights help available to employees during this time.
