Genuine Redundancy? The importance of Consultation &

Redeployment

Under the  Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), a person who has been unfairly dismissed has rights and remedies because of the dismissal. Possible remedies to an unfair dismissal include monetary compensation and reinstatement. However, a dismissal will not fall into the definition of an unfair dismissal if it was a case of a genuine redundancy. To read what is meant by a genuine redundancy click here.

Compensation Law

 

We act in a broad range of matters where individuals seek compensation for loss, damage or harm suffered. This can arise from the workplace (e.g. discrimination, bullying, harassment, unsafe systems), from a car accident, motor cycle accident, boating or aircraft accident or an unsafe public place or private property.

Business Clients - Increasing Giving via Discretionary Trusts 

Andrew Lind

 

Let's say you decide to give $1000.00 to your church. If you give this out of income that you personally derive, you would have first paid tax on the income and therefore, (assuming a tax rate of 30%) would have to earn approximately $1500.00 to give $1000.00. 

 

If the gift was given by a discretionary trust, the trust could simply give the $1500.00. Giving has increased by 50%. I'm sure you are wondering how, so click here to find out more.
 

Andrew is usually happy to present at meetings of churches or other charities about this and other tax effective ways of maximizing giving.
