Recent decisions at Fair Work Australia make it clear that performance management and dismissals in the Fair Work era are just as much about process as it is about the reasons why. Performance Management and employee dismissal hold many hidden risks for small and medium businesses. The Government’s much touted Small Business Fair Dismissal Code was meant to take the headache out of this critical area, but the reality is that recent decisions from Fair Work Australia (FWA) show that things are not as simple as they might seem. This is particularly worrying for small and medium businesses that lack the benefit of in-house HR expertise. So now is time to educate yourself and learn from recent decisions.
