The high income threshold affects 3
main entitlements:
1. Employees who earn more than the high income threshold and who
aren’t covered by a modern award or enterprise agreement, can’t make an unfair
dismissal claim
2. Employees who are covered by a modern
award and have agreed to a written guarantee of annual earnings that is more
than the high income threshold, don’t get modern award entitlements. However, they can make an unfair dismissal
claim
- The
maximum amount of compensation payable for unfair dismissal is capped at
either half the high income threshold, or 6 months of the dismissed
employee’s wage – whichever is less
