have I a case for unfair dismissal Posted by Keith - 02:59 PM 25.07.10
I work as a carer and for the past 18mths have worked 3 set days each week. Out of the blue they told me while I was at my job that it would be my last shift not to go back. I was given no explanation. I am a casual but as I have worked the same days continuosly is there anything I can do. The job is still being covered by other carers

Unfortunately due to the nature of casual employment there is no guarantee of regular or ongoing employment, however if you feel the dismissal was harsh, unjust, unreasonable or unfair you may have recourse to Unfair Dismissal depending on a number of factors. If the termination of employment was unlawful you may also have recourse to Unlawful Termination. We’ll call you today to have a chat about what your options are.
