As of 1st July 2018, the subject matter (HIT) rises to $145,000, meaning that an employee receiving more than this sum is jurisdictionally barred from making an unfair dismissal claim.

In making a salary assessment, the key components are Salary/ Wages and the agreed monetary value of all non-monetary benefits in the contract package.

Superannuation, Bonus/incentives, and commissions are not considered in the assessment.

The calculation is only relevant to the sums payable at the time of dismissal.

As the bar has been lifted yet again it is imperative that policies and procedures are updated and amended to avoid this costly legal procedure.

Procedure Rock will provide the agility required to enable managers to handle work performance/conduct issues with confidence that legal proceedings will not ensue from their actions.
