Understanding Your Rights with a Redundancy Lawyer in Brisbane
Redundancy can challenge anyone, but knowing your rights can make all the difference. Specific Fair Work provisions protect employees facing redundancy that many employers overlook or misapply, and our lawyers regularly see cases where redundancies aren’t genuine or proper consultation hasn’t occurred.
Key redundancy protections include:
- Requirement for genuine operational reasons
- Mandatory consultation periods
- Fair selection criteria
- Appropriate redundancy pay calculations
- Redeployment considerations
- Notice period entitlements
Our redundancy lawyers in Brisbane will examine every aspect of your case, from the first announcement through to final payments. We can identify any breaches of employment law, discrimination issues, or procedural failures that could strengthen your position.
Common Redundancy Issues We Address
Employees facing redundancy will find their situation isn’t always as straightforward as it appears. Our redundancy lawyers in Brisbane frequently encounter:
- Sham redundancies, where employers supposedly eliminate positions but someone else performs the same duties.
- Discriminatory selection, when redundancy targets specific employees based on age, pregnancy, or union membership.
- Inadequate consultations where employers rush processes without proper discussion or considering alternatives.
- Miscalculated redundancy pay, unpaid leave entitlements, or missing notice periods.
We can also handle more complex matters involving enterprise agreements, modern awards, and executive redundancies. We make sure to stay up to date with evolving employment legislation and Fair Work Commission decisions, so you receive advice based on the latest legal developments.

FAQs About Redundancy
What makes a redundancy genuine?
Redundancies can be genuine–signs of this include the employer’s enterprise has had changes in their operational requirements, or if the job in question no longer needs to be performed by anyone in the business. Please contact us if you were made redundant and don’t believe it to be a real case, or if you have issues with your entitlements.
How much redundancy pay am I entitled to?
The amount of redundancy pay you receive can depend on how long you have worked at the company for and your “base rate of pay” (including all regular allowances and excluding discretionary payments such as bonuses and car payments).
What can I be awarded if my redundancy challenge is successful?
If your case against your employer is successful, you may have your position reinstated, or you could get compensation for lost wages and even additional damages for distress.
