In a new ruling highlighting the importance of discussing expectations when employees resign, the Fair Work Commission has found a manager didn't "freely" agree to leave before his notified end date.

A manager had "ostensible authority" to act on an employer's behalf, despite its claims to the contrary, and made it "unequivocally clear" to an employee that she no longer had a job, the Fair Work Commission has found.

An employer has been ordered to pay a sacked worker $28k in compensation, after it backed out of an agreement to provide him with support to achieve his performance targets.

A labour hire company that wasn't informed a host had ended its employee's assignment has successfully argued it doesn't have to face her general protections claim.

An employer didn't force an employee to resign when it ordered her to cease working from home due to safety concerns, according to the Fair Work Commission.

An apprehended domestic violence order that prohibited an employee from contacting her manager "frustrated" her employment contract, the Fair Work Commission has ruled in concluding she wasn't dismissed.

A manager "misconceived" a reduction in her duties in a negative light when in fact her employer was offering support to overcome challenges in her role, the Fair Work Commission has found in constructive dismissal proceedings.

An employee who resigned four times in two days could not simply argue her actions were "a sudden and out of character brain snap", the Fair Work Commission has found in rejecting her constructive dismissal claim.
