Don’t accept the change

Your employer may want you to resign or accept less favourable terms. A significant reduction in duties or remuneration may amount to a dismissal since Blair v Chubb Security Australia [2003] AIRC 1006.

Less is not more

Our client, a butcher, was demoted by a multinational employer to avoid paying redundancy entitlements. We pursued the employer and secured a very healthy settlement for our client, who said this about us:

... I always worked hard and put my employers' interests first. Whilst I was on holidays, my employers decided they would demote me for an incident I had nothing to do with. I emailed jaguar law and they called me back within 10 minutes. I can't sing their praises enough! Not once throughout my unfair dismissal case did they hang up or say bye until they were sure I was ok! Every step of the way we were in front of one of Australia's biggest companies … jaguar law got me a good settlement before the case went to hearing. These employers might just start thinking twice before they take the bread and butter from peoples' tables and leave them and their family with emotional scars. I'm not sure I paid jaguar law enough for the countless hours and effort they put in for me ... I can't thank them enough for fighting for what is right. Thanks and thanks again.
