Can a resignation become a dismissal?

Surprisingly, yes.

If an employee resigns and gives notice, many employers assume they can simply decide the employee will finish immediately and pay out the notice period instead.

Unfortunately, it's not always that straightforward.

A recent Fair Work Commission decision reinforced that if an employer unilaterally brings forward an employee's finishing date, the employment may legally be considered a dismissal rather than a resignation - even if the employee receives all of their pay.

The good news? Avoiding this risk may be as simple as changing the way you have the conversation.

Rachel has unpacked the decision, what it means for employers and the practical steps you can take to protect your business in our latest blog.

Many employers have heard the term positive duty... but what does it actually mean?

The reality is that employers now have a legal obligation to take proactive steps to prevent workplace sexual harassment and manage psychosocial risks – not just respond when something goes wrong.

If you're not sure what this means for your business (or whether you're meeting your obligations), you're not alone. It's a new area for many employers, but getting it right is more important than ever.

We've broken it down in our latest blog, including:
✔️ What positive duty means
✔️ The laws behind it
✔️ What compliance looks like in practice
✔️ The risks of getting it wrong

👉 Read the full blog on the HR Sorted website and, if you're unsure where your business stands, get in touch. We'd love to help you create a workplace that's compliant, safe and supportive.

Tuesday, 28 April 2026 is World Day for Safety and Health at Work.

Workplace safety isn’t just about physical risks anymore.

Psychosocial health - things like workload, support, role clarity and workplace behaviour - is now a legal responsibility for employers, not just a “nice to have”.

With the new regulations now in place, businesses are expected to actively identify and manage these risks.

So, is your workplace actually compliant?

Or are there risks sitting in the background that haven’t been addressed yet?

If you’re not sure where to start, this is exactly the kind of work we support businesses with — practical, straightforward and tailored to you.

We’ve recently concluded our second workplace investigation of the year.

Running workplace investigations is one of the most challenging parts of what we do.

They’re detailed, time-consuming, and often far more complex than they first appear. But more than that - I’m acutely aware that they involve real people. Real experiences. Real consequences.

Every interview, every piece of evidence, every finding, carries weight. There’s big pressure in that. Not just to be thorough and technically sound, but to be fair, balanced, and to genuinely give it everything in order to reach that important balance of probabilities threshold.

Behind every allegation is someone who has spoken up, and someone who is responding. Both deserve a process that is careful, respectful, and absolutely grounded in integrity.

It’s not work we can or would ever rush. And it’s not work we take at all lightly.

The trust organisations place in us to handle these matters - often at their most sensitive - it isn’t lost on me. It’s at the forefront of my mind in every investigation we run.

So, while we enjoy the challenge that running investigations provides, the time between them is just as important - to reset and ensure we’re ready to step back into that level of responsibility.

Because this isn’t process-driven work. It’s people-driven. And it deserves to be treated that way, every single time.

If you need support with a workplace investigation - whether externally or just to have an experienced hand guiding the process - we’re always happy to have a conversation.
