INDUSTRIAL LAW REFORM (FAIR WORK) ACT 2005 (NO 3 OF 2005) - SECT 55

55—Amendment of section 109—Remedies for unfair dismissal from employment

Section 109—after subsection (1) insert:

        (1a)         Re-employment is to be regarded as the preferred remedy, and the Commission may only award an alternative remedy if satisfied that there are cogent reasons to believe that re-employment would not, in the circumstances of the particular case, be an appropriate remedy.

        (1b)         However, the Commission need not regard re-employment as the preferred remedy if the position to which the applicant would be re-employed is in a business or undertaking where, at the time of the Commission's decision on the application, less than 50 employees are employed.
