A talent advisory leader who signed contracts worth more than $2 million a year is suing her former employer for unlawful adverse action and contract breaches, alleging her complaints about its "toxic" culture were ignored.
Two employees who breached their employment contracts by discussing a colleague's new salary have won maximum compensation for unfair dismissal, after the Fair Work Commission found their conduct was "not sufficiently serious".
An employee's role began as a "regular paid job, but soon changed to an exploitative nightmare", a tribunal has found in awarding her $85k in penalties.
Two workers have committed to numerous "restrictions" regarding their interactions with an employee of another business, who sought stop-bullying orders because they "made his life hell".
An employer's risk-averse approach to weighing conflicting medical views about an employee's fitness for work resulted in an unfair dismissal, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
Regardless of finding it "offensive" that the success of her s-xual harassment complaint hinged on her employment status, a former employee has been denied the stop-SH orders she sought.
An employee has been denied access to an email in which a colleague expressed personal opinions about him, after a commissioner found full disclosure could compromise the colleague's privacy and reputation.
Individuals in a new leadership group sometimes "let their emotions get the better of them", but none of their behaviour constituted bullying, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
S-xual harassment allegations against an employee were part of an employer's "pre-meditated" plan to remove him from its business "in the most efficient way", the Fair Work Commission has found.
All employers should consider putting in place a workplace s-xual harassment prevention plan, even though such plans are only expressly prescribed in one jurisdiction, according to a risk management expert.
Recent events have shone a spotlight on whistleblowing, placing employers firmly on notice that their response to a protected disclosure could be subject to intense scrutiny. Watch this webcast to understand the role HR plays in this challenging space.
