The Fair Work Commission wants to postpone the start date for proposed s-xual harassment reforms, predicting a "significant" number of stop-harassment applications. Meanwhile employer groups and more have had their say on how the bill should change.
An employer has defended standing down a worker soon after she complained about bullying, based on a selection process that took into account numerous performance issues.
An employer's decision not to investigate bullying allegations or interview witnesses because the incidents occurred a long time ago made no sense, a commission has ruled.
An employer's refusal to let an injured employee return to full-time duties, and its subsequent response to her bullying and discrimination complaints, were reasonable actions, a commission has ruled.
Workplace s-xual harassment legislation introduced to Parliament today will amend the Fair Work Act's anti-bullying jurisdiction so the Fair Work Commission can make 'stop s-xual harassment' orders.
An employee was fairly sacked for repeated inappropriate and harassing workplace behaviour, the Fair Work Commission has ruled, rejecting that the incidents were simply "disagreements".
An employee has failed on appeal to prove she was "badgered, bullied and mobbed" by colleagues while her performance was under review, resulting in a psychiatric injury.
A Fair Work Commission member's failure to recuse himself from hearing a stop-bullying case has had the 'regrettable' knock-on effect of making his ruling invalid.
General protections claims are the fastest-growing category of applications in the Fair Work Commission, with reforms now underway to stem the tide. This webinar will discuss important developments in both procedural issues and case law.
