A worker involved in a fight or assault in the workplace can face serious disciplinary consequences, including the immediate termination of their employment. Fighting is classified as “serious misconduct” under the Fair Work Regulation. The effect of this is that if your employer sacks you for serious misconduct, they don’t have to pay you notice and can terminate you with immediate effect. You may also miss out on long service leave entitlements in some cases. The consequences of fighting at work need to be taken very seriously. https://bit.ly/3HMDSD6 #employmentlawyers #seriousmisconduct #fightingatwork #termination #unfairdismissal
