Are You Eligible To Make A Claim?
If there has been a breach of contract by your employer, you may be eligible to make a claim through the court system.
Employees covered by the Fair Work Act 2009, including independent contractors and full-time, part-time and casual employees who believe their minimum legal entitlements have not been met, may be eligible to make a claim.
What Are You Able To Claim?
The contractual relationship between an employee and employer is often governed by either Federal or State Awards, administrative regulations or judicial decisions. This includes ensuring fair hourly or weekly wage rates and minimum notice periods. For this reason alone, it is important that you are represented by experts in the field, such as Brydens Lawyers.
If you believe that your employer has breached the contract of employment, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation—especially if it concerns the failure of your employer to provide your minimum legal entitlements. Brydens Lawyers can guide you through the complexities of employment law so that you understand exactly what you may be entitled to.
Why Are Brydens Lawyers The Right Representation For You?
When it comes to employment entitlements,both employees and employers have rights and obligations to each other so as to fulfil contractual and statutory obligations. These obligations are set out in a written employment contract that legally forms the employment relationship.

Often, expert legal advice and representation are required to assist in resolving any concerns that arise from a conflict in your employment rights and obligations. For this reason, it is important to get the best legal advice and representation when issues arise in the workplace.
The team of professionals at Brydens Lawyers has a deep and thorough understanding of employment law, including national employment standards and the Fair Work Act 2009. If you believe you are entitled to make a claim because your employer has breached their contract with you, then we can help.
What Is Your Next Step?
No matter what kind of employment contract you are on—whether you are under full-time, part-time or casual employment—your employer will always have certain occupational obligations to you. This is part of the Fair Work Act 2009 and the national employment standards, ensuring your minimum legal entitlements are met. This is particularly important for casual employees or those engaged as an independent contractor who may face unique challenges in their employment status.
If your employer has breached this contract, then you should contact Brydens Lawyers to arrange a conference to discuss your employment matter.
When Should You Consult A Lawyer About Making A Claim?
You should consult a lawyer as soon as you become aware that your workplace rights may be affected by potential breaches of the legislation or your employment contract.
