If an employee is dismissed for "shortage of work" and another employee is then promoted to cover part of that employee's duties and another is hired four months later to cover another part of the employee's duties, does it qualify for wrongful dismissal? It was acknowledged on several occasions leading up to the termination that the employee's workload was far too high.

A dismissal due to "shortage of work" entitles you to a full severance package so please contact us to discuss the options you have to recover your entitlements.

In the meantime I encourage you to access the free Severance Calculator linked at the top of the page to find out what you may be owed.
