An order is a direction given by a Member of the Fair Work Commission (the Commission) in accordance with a decision. In relation to unfair dismissal applications, an order may:

  •  dismiss an unfair dismissal application
  •  require compensation to be paid
  •  require reinstatement, or
  •  require compensation to be paid and reinstatement. An order made by the Commission is legally binding. However the Commission does not have the power to enforce an order. The enforcement of orders is further explained in this fact sheet.
