Australia Announces Changes to Unfair Dismissal Related Thresholds

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Aug. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- The Australian government has announced an array of changes to many employment related financial thresholds which are indexed annually. These changes are applicable from July 1, 2013, says Nair & Co. which provides global HR services (http://www.nair-co.com/global-hr-services.aspx) for companies setting up foreign operations.

For an Unfair Dismissal Application and Annual Earnings Guarantee (Before Statutory Superannuation), the threshold has changed as follows:
