How do I know if I have been the victim of discrimination or harassment at work?

If you are unsure of whether you have been a victim of discrimination or harassment at work, please make an appointment to speak with our specialist Employment Law team.

What should I do if I have been the victim of discrimination or harassment at work?

If you have been the victim of discrimination or harassment at work, it is essential to document the incidents and report them to your employer. Gathering evidence and information about the situation will help build your case if you choose to seek the assistance of an employment lawyer.

Before engaging a lawyer, there are steps you can take beforehand, such as utilising the policies employers have in place for handling these types of issues. In many cases, taking this step may be able to help resolve the problem.

What are my rights as an employee if I am asked to sign a non-compete agreement?

In some cases, non-compete agreements are typically used to prevent employees from working for a competitor after they leave their current job. These agreements can be enforceable, but they must be reasonable in scope and duration. If you are asked to sign a non-compete agreement, it is crucial to understand the terms and how they may impact your ability to work in your field. We have a team of experienced employment lawyers in Townsville that can help you review the agreement and advise you on your rights.
