Threatened with losing your job

It's illegal for an employer to threaten an employee with dismissal to force the employee to:

  • do something they are entitled to do under a Commonwealth workplace law, agreement or order 
  • not do something they are entitled to do under a Commonwealth workplace law, agreement or order 
  • exercise a workplace right in a particular way.

Examples of things you may be entitled to do include voting for a enterprise agreement or taking on the role of employee representative.
