ER Team Successfully Defends Member in Unfair Dismissal Case

In a recent case, our Employment Relations (ER) Team successfully defended a member against an unfair dismissal claim. The member had initially begun the paperwork independently, unaware of the full range of services offered by the ER Team.

Ian Allt, a seasoned ER professional, took over the case. The member's former employee alleged wrongful summary dismissal. However, the MTA’s position was clear: the termination followed two separate incidents of violent threats made by the employee.

The MTA represented the member during conciliation proceedings. Despite the initial claim for 12 weeks of compensation, the ER Team was able to negotiate a settlement of zero. This outcome highlights the amazing value of seeking professional assistance from our ER Team.

The successful resolution of this case underscores the expertise and dedication of the MTA’s ER Team in handling complex employment disputes. For comprehensive support on any Fair Work matter, we encourage members to contact the ER Team.
