Jennifer Mills: Director and Head of Practice at Jennifer Mills & Associates on the Government's new Employment Relations Amendment Bill - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Government has unveiled new changes for Employment Relations Act aimed at improving labour market flexibility - but it's raised some concerns.

One of the proposed changes includes introducing an income threshold of $180,000 above which a personal grievance for unjustified dismissal cannot be pursued.

Director and Head of Practice at Jennifer Mills & Associates, Jennifer Mills, says this threshold seems 'arbitrary'.

"I would have thought that all employees would have the right to access these grievance protections - what's worse is somebody who earns over $180,000 doesn't have a right to have any information about the decision to terminate their employment and they don't even have an opportunity to respond to a proposal."
