A Brisbane lawyer has revealed that Queensland Health employees suffering in the much controversial ongoing pay combat possess less legal options to recover their wages or seek compensation.

It is reported that tens of thousands of staff who have been unpaid, overpaid or paid erroneously will have to put abide by it, employment and commercial lawyer Michael Coates told brisbanetimes. com. au.

"[Legal action] is certainly a risk that Queensland Health could consider ... it could have a whole raft of employees trying to sue them", Mr. Coates, a Director at the firm Bennett and Philip, posted.

Mr. Coates, posted that employees possessed the right to fetch their claim to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal or a civil magistrate’s court.

However, legal step against an employer generally led to the end of their employment.

Above 90 per cent of the state's doctors post that they have been felt the impact of the debacle, with many revealing to receive incorrect pays for more than a month since a new system want into effect.

Many affected nurses and doctors have extended complaints that the pay fiasco has cost them their rental property, forced some to default on their mortgages and nudged others to seek charities or friends for food.
