Employment & Workplace Disputes
General Protections, Discrimination & Bullying Lawyers Melbourne
Melbourne advice on general protections, discrimination, sexual harassment and workplace bullying disputes.
Understanding General Protections, Discrimination & Bullying
Not every workplace claim is an unfair dismissal claim. Sometimes the real issue is adverse action for exercising a workplace right, discrimination, bullying, sexual harassment or retaliation after a complaint. Those matters may fall under the general protections provisions of the Fair Work Act, anti-discrimination legislation, or both.
Vitt Legal helps Melbourne clients choose the right forum and build the case around the right legal theory. That includes employees seeking compensation or injunctive relief, and employers responding to complex complaints, investigations or regulatory scrutiny arising from workplace conduct issues.
