Unfair Dismissals – 21 day time limit

Employees terminated from employment may consider bringing an unfair dismissal application to the Fair Work Commission, noting there is a strict time limit of applying within 21 days of the date of termination. It is generally only in exceptional circumstances if employees go over the time limit that they would be allowed to successfully continue with an unfair dismissal application. We highly recommend you seek legal advice before filing your unfair dismissal application or if you have been served with an unfair dismissal application.
