Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Part 1 - ERAA 2026: The $200k Dismissal Threshold & Trial Period Change
Q: Does a car allowance plus bonus push someone over the threshold?
Yes, total remuneration includes base salary, bonuses, share scheme benefits, and allowances; if the total in the last 364 days exceeds 200,000, the threshold applies and the formula used considers actual payments, not just base salary.
Part 1 - ERAA 2026: The $200k Dismissal Threshold & Trial Period Change
Q: If a senior employee is on a high total remuneration but existing, can we apply the threshold now?
No. Existing employees on 21 February 2026 fall under the 12-month transition period, so they retain full unjustified dismissal rights until February 21, 2027.
Part 1 - ERAA 2026: The $200k Dismissal Threshold & Trial Period Change
Q: Our exec wants to opt back in to the personal grievance rights. Do we have to agree?
No. The act allows for mutual written agreement for the threshold not to apply, but you are not legally required to agree; you can refuse and keep the threshold in place, which often leads to negotiation during recruitment or promotion.
Part 1 - ERAA 2026: The $200k Dismissal Threshold & Trial Period Change
Q: Can we use the threshold for redundancy and skip the consultation process?
Yes, technically you could skip full consultation for redundancies above the threshold, but there are massive caveats tied to the employment agreement: you may still be bound by protection provisions and broader good faith obligations, so proceeding without proper process can still lead to breach of contract or discrimination claims.
