General protections claims are the fastest-growing category of applications in the Fair Work Commission, and uncapped compensation makes it one of the most expensive litigation risks that employers face.
Attend this webinar to understand how this jurisdiction is evolving, and what the changes mean for your organisation's HR processes.
Henry William Lawyers partner Renee Kasbarian will discuss:
- the context of rising adverse action claims;
- FWC reforms to general protections dismissal applications;
- case management changes in the Federal Court;
- practical steps for defending claims and meeting the reverse onus of proof;
- accessorial liability exposure for HR and other leaders; and
- emerging trends and key takeaways from recent rulings.
Attending this webinar, including Q&A time, counts as 1.5 CPD hours.
