After the case - Frequently Asked Questions​



1. I went to conciliation at Fair Work Commission. My employer agreed to pay me $5,000. We both signed an agreement but my employer hasn't paid me the money. What can I do?

If you and your employer signed an agreement, you have a contract. It is possible to enforce the contract if your employer breaks the agreement.

You should get legal advice if you want to enforce a contract.

For more information, see Enforcing agreements.

2. I made a general protections dismissal application to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. I went to a hearing and the Court orde​​red my employer to pay me compensation by last week. My employer hasn't paid me. What can I do?

If your employer doesn't do what the Court ordered, you may be able to apply to the Federal Court of Australia or the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for orders to enforce the decision.

Before you apply to a Court, you should get legal advice.

For more information, see Enforcing orders.

3. The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia di​​smissed my general protections dismissal application. I think this was a mistake. What can I do?
