The Institute of Public Affairs claims that Australia’s unfair dismissal laws serve as a discentive for businesses to hire staff. IPA research indicates that the number of unfair dismissal claims lodged with the Fair Work Commission exceeded 18,000 in 2015-16, compared with fewer than 6,000 in 2005-06. The IPA’s Gideon Rozner says unfair dismissal claims take an unnecessarily long time to process, while FWC determinations are often contradictory. He contends that many businesses are paying complainants cash just to get them off their back.
