VIC Defamation In The Workplace

[Plantgb]

If an Employer makes false allegations about your behaviour and then sacks you, can you then sue them for defamation and if not re instated claim an economic loss of future wages ?

 

[Tim W]

Nah. You're better off thinking about unfair dismissal.

 

[Plantgb]

Even when you consider a successful case under defamation could be possibly 20 times more than unfair dismissal law ?

 

[Rod]

It is possible, just harder to prove and more costly if you lose.
