Letters to the Editor Sacking For Dummies
Big or small (Business) it will become easier to terminate employees more easily - the PM wants flexibility. I would like to bet that the following methods will be quickly incorporated into management practices once IR reforms are passed. In fact, they are already being used quite widely. However, the reforms will simply make it much easier by removing the protections that allow employees to challenge management's decision to terminate. The following can be used individually or in combination: a. The said employee was terminated as a result of corporate restructure; b. The said employee was terminated within their probationary period, therefore, we are not required to 'show cause'; c. The said employee made claims of harassment and/or discrimination, however, our own internal investigation concluded that that the allegations were unsubstantiated by evidence. We have offered said employee a termination package as part of our good will and said employee has accepted. Special note, when attempting to convince employees of the merit of AWA's please list those employees who refuse to sign as we can organise a corporate restructure for those who oppose the move, which will allow us finalise agreements with those who are willing to participate - remember, however, AWA's cannot be forced. John McPhilbin, NSW
