Don’t be too casual!

The finding in Ponce v DJT Staff Management Services Pty Ltd [2010] FWA 2078 confirmed periods of casual employment can count for the purpose of making an unfair dismissal application.

Out of the frypan …

When an international fast food chain underpaid and dismissed our client, a food artist, we argued she had regular, systematic employment and a reasonable expectation of it continuing. We settled favourably.

... my daughter was unfairly dismissed and I needed some legal advice. I contacted jaguar law via their website and they promptly rang back. Their advice has been first class but at rate much less than normal lawyers’ fees. They were always contactable and provided practical, pragmatic and balanced advice on the matter. They are very approachable and can articulate complex matters very simply. I have absolutely have no hesitation in recommending anyone to use jaguar law for legal matters.

Denying your rights?

In Fair Work Ombudsman v Quest South Perth Holdings [2015] HCA 45 the High Court ruled that misrepresenting employment as an independent contracting arrangement contravenes the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).

Clearing things up

We acted for a married couple, cleaners, whose employer made a sham contract then dismissed them without paying notice or entitlements. We aggressively pursued the employer and settled favourably without going court.

... my husband and I saw jaguar law and went on the website. I emailed them to help us and within an hour they contacted us and offered to help. They worked every day with us including Saturday, over and above what you would expect and at a very minimal cost. I just can't say enough for this group who has worked with us daily to help us. I recommend that if anyone needs support with employment contracts or any other law issues contact jaguar law to get an excellent and astute service. My husband and I will certainly be using jaguar law again in the future.
