HAVE YOU BEEN UNFAIRLY TREATED AT WORK?
You spend a lot of time at work, and being treated unfairly in the workplace can have far-reaching effects in your life and living standard. In return for the time and effort you put in at work, you are entitled to fair treatment from your employer, including being fairly paid. When your trust is breached by your employer it can cost you money (income) and also have a negative impact on your career, reputation and mental health. If you think you have been treated unfairly at work, talk to the employment law experts at Wyatts.
The employment lawyers at Wyatts will help you stand up for your rights.
YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK
Your rights at work are governed by employment contracts or industry awards, and legislation. Your pay and conditions are stipulated and might include hourly rates, overtime, penalty rates, holidays, work hours and break times to name a few. If you think any of your conditions of employment have been breached, you may be entitled to make a claim against your employer.
If you have been treated unfairly at work, a Wyatts employment lawyer will be able to help determine if you have a claim. You’ll need to pay an initial consultation fee, and if we think you have a valid claim, we will prepare a cost agreement for your consideration. You are under no obligation to proceed with the claim, but if you do, a Wyatts employment lawyer will guide you every step of the way.
There are many types of situations you may encounter at work where an employment lawyer might be able to help you:
- Underpayment of wages and unpaid superannuation
- Review of an employment contract
- Redundancy advice
- Victim of workplace bullying
- Victim of sexual harassment at work
- Discriminated against at work
- Whistleblower protection
- Executive employment advice
WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM
Employment claims are based on your unique circumstances, and any remedy or compensation will be specific to losses you have suffered:
- Unpaid wages (such as if you have been underpaid)
- Monetary compensation
- Reinstatement of your employment
- Review of any unfair decisions
HOW TO GET STARTED
Claims against your employer are managed differently to personal injury compensation claims. To get started, we’ll book an initial consultation with you, for a which we will charge a flat fee. We will offer advice during the initial consultation as to whether we think you have a claim.
If there are grounds for a claim, we’ll tell you about the process and steps involved, along with our professional fees to manage the case on your behalf. You can decide at that point if you would like to proceed with your claim.

What Our Clients Say
L.
Motor Vehicle Accident
We tried to deal with the insurance company ourselves for some time before we realised we needed professional help. We met the Wyatts team and knew the experience would be positive from the start. They were honest with us, communicated every step of the way and were very knowledgeable and organised. They produced a result 20 times more than what we were initially offered by the insurance company. We can’t recommend Wyatts highly enough.
D.M.
Personal Injury
Wyatts was there to advise and help me at every stage of my claim. I knew I had a great team behind me. It was a relief when my matter settled, and I was happy with the result.
D.P.
Personal Injury
What a nice group of people that do care about you and your claim, they treat you with respect and kindness and are always a pleasure to talk to and work through whatever your matters are. If you ever find yourself needing to contact lawyers about making a claim for any personal injuries or anything else, I highly recommend these wonderful people.
C.S.
Institutional Abuse
The team at Wyatts have been nothing but golden, they have been so supportive and have really helped give me a life back. I’ve never met people that are so helpful, so kind and so genuine. The team worked hard with me to help build a strong legal case and have offered nothing but support in getting me the best possible outcome. They have really helped restore my happiness and my faith in humanity.
G.G.
Institutional Abuse
Wyatts lawyers was a great choice for my complex historical sexual abuse compensation claim. Not only did I get a result I never thought was possible, but they were professional, gentle and patient with my sensitive mental health. Although the case wasn’t the easiest of cases, with many bumps along the way, the Wyatts team had a heap of resources and people who could help in all areas.
T.S.
Medical Negligence
Wyatts took over my medical negligence claim from another firm that I wasn’t happy with. Wyatts prepared my claim for a hearing in the Supreme Court and negotiated a great settlement for me and my family. They treated me and my family with respect and sensitivity through this emotional time.
J.S.
Motor Vehicle Accident
I want to thank Wyatts for all the help they have given me throughout my claim. I did not know anything about the process or whether I could get anything at all from the CTP insurer, but you knew what to do. You have really made it worthwhile.
S.B.
Workers Compensation
My life has been one big blur the last month or so and I never expected the result we got. I just wanted to extend my great appreciation towards you. You have defiantly gone above and beyond, and I am blessed to have found such a great solicitor like yourself. You have no idea how much this money will change my life and I can’t thank you enough.
Anonymous
Institutional Abuse
My biggest fear was going to court again. Due to Camille and her team’s hard work, we managed to settle out of court, which was a dream come true. The settlement doesn’t take away the pain that the abuse caused me and what I have had to live with, but it certainly helps. An amazing outcome for myself and my family which would not have been possible without the dedication of Wyatts Compensation Lawyers.
R.A.
Medical Negligence
I chose Wyatts because they were a highly reputable firm, and I would know who was handling my claim the whole time. The directors were available to speak to me if I had any concerns. After some medical appointments and some negotiation, they got a great result for me, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Neville and Julie.
