(1) If an employer dismisses an employee and the employee claims that the
dismissal is harsh, unreasonable or unjust, the employee may apply to the
Commission for the claim to be dealt with under this Part.
(2) An application
may be made on behalf of the employee by an industrial organisation of
employees.
(3) An industrial organisation may make one application on behalf
of a number of employees who were dismissed at the same time or for related
reasons. However, this subsection does not prevent the Commission from hearing
a number of applications under this Part together or individually.
(4) An
application may be made under this Part even though the applicant does not
specify the nature of the remedy sought or requests compensation only.
However, this subsection does not affect the requirement under this Part that
compensation is available only if the Commission considers that reinstatement
or re-employment would be impracticable.
