‘NO JAB, NO JOB’ ABUSE LIVESTREAM
Instead of reporting your incident of ‘No Jab, No Job’ abuse to me, please view my livestream video from 3.30pm on Monday 27 September 2021 via my Facebook page or via YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLxCxCMXkOY
Due to the overwhelming response to the ‘No Jab, No Job’ Abuse report form, I have discontinued the page as I simply cannot keep up with queries.
But, briefly, you need to be aware of the rights you do have at work. According to Fair Work:
“If an employee refuses a direction to be vaccinated, it’s unlikely that their employer can stand down the employee… Further, employers generally don’t have the power to suspend employees without pay... Employees have various protections against being dismissed or treated adversely in their employment. Employers should make sure that they follow a fair process and have a valid reason for termination, or they may breach unfair dismissal or adverse action laws…”
Ultimately, people should seek their own clear legal advice on the matter or call the Fair Work Ombudsman on 13 13 94 from 8.00am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday.
As mentioned, I am planning a livestream video session with a legal and an industrial relations expert at 3.30pm on Monday 27 September 2021 which you can connect to via my Facebook page or in the YouTube link below or the embedded video:
