How it works & what you get

A guided way to turn a messy dismissal into a clearer next step — safer and more useful than generic chat.

What it helps you do

Check the timing

Work out where you stand against the 21-day window before it's a problem.

Organise your story

Put what happened in order — a clear timeline you can actually use.

Find missing items

See which documents to chase — payslips, contract, the dismissal letter.

How it works

  • Tell your story. Answer a few plain-language questions in the chat — no legal jargon needed.
  • Add evidence where it helps. Attach relevant documents; you stay in control of what's included.
  • Get a structured packet. A timeline, evidence index, missing-document list, and draft Fair Work materials to file yourself or take to a lawyer or community legal centre.

Why it's better than a generic AI chatbot

A general chatbot improvises from whatever it half-remembers, and it can't tell you where an answer came from. BiggerPayout is deliberately constrained: every step is grounded in a curated Australian employment-law library, so your output is source-bounded and structured for the Fair Work Commission — not guesswork.

That library includes:

  • Legislation & regulations — the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and the rules made under it.
  • Fair Work Commission rules, procedures & forms — including the Form F2 unfair dismissal application.
  • Case law & civil procedure — relevant decisions and the procedural rules that shape how a matter actually runs.
  • Eligibility & access criteria — legal-aid and community-legal-centre thresholds, so you understand your options.
  • Issue, complexity & adjacency flags — built-in checks that surface time limits, jurisdiction questions, and related issues a generic model would miss.

The result is clearer, better-grounded preparation — while still not legal advice and never predicting an outcome.

Safety & boundaries

  • We help you prepare and organise — we don't represent you or file anything for you.
  • No outcome prediction. No one here can tell you what your matter is worth or that you'll win.
  • Your documents stay in your matter workspace — never used to prepare the other side's materials, and never used to train AI models.
  • We are not the Fair Work Commission and are not affiliated with it.

The boundaries, in short
