An employee who had been absent for more than two years before resigning has failed to convince the Fair Work Commission he was forced out by a pattern of "sustained psychological abuse, structural mismanagement [and] coercion".
An employee's request for a 919-day extension to lodge a general protections dismissal claim, based on a suggestion made by ChatGPT, was best described as "hopeless" and an unnecessary waste of time, according to the Fair Work Commission.
Referring to an employee's "body proportions" when directing her to comply with a uniform policy was unacceptable, but it didn't force her to resign, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
It was reasonable not to allow an employee whose ego was "dazzled" by other job offers to rescind his resignation, the Fair Work Commission has found, rejecting that the employer's conduct constituted a dismissal.
Evidence that an HRBP actively tried to help resolve an employee's issues with a colleague's behaviour has helped an employer defend a constructive dismissal claim.
Performance conversations that weren't as "overt" as they could have been contributed to an employee's confusion regarding the reasons for her dismissal, but her employer's decision wasn't unlawful, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
An employer has failed to prove that it didn't dismiss a worker when it repeatedly refused her requests for part-time work after a period of parental leave.
It was retaliatory and "cold-hearted" of an HR manager to ask an absent employee to attend meetings, and to repeatedly deny his requests for annual leave after his sick leave ran out, the Federal Circuit Court has found in upholding his adverse action claim.
