An employee who was repeatedly underpaid – or not paid at all – had no option but to resign, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.

The Fair Work Commission has chastised a long-serving employee for creating a "false and misleading story" to explain his workplace actions, finding his dismissal for serious misconduct was "wholly justified".

Strong relationships and clarity of purpose are the two biggest factors in creating a high-performing team, a leadership and performance expert says.
