Lunch and Learn: When Is A Summary Dismissal A Disproportionate Response And Therefore Unfair

Where an employer dismisses an employee alleging serious misconduct, the employee may be unclear on their prospects in an unfair dismissal claim.

Join JobWatch for a webinar which will explore issues such as:

• the examples of serious misconduct provided by the Fair Work Regulations;
• when serious misconduct will constitute a valid reason for dismissal; and
• when dismissal will be a proportionate response to serious misconduct.

This short Lunch and Learn webinar will offer an overview of relevant legislative provisions and case law.

This session is worth 0.5 CPD points for lawyers.

It is accurate as of Tuesday 20 May 2025.
