An employer acted with "undignified haste" when making a manager redundant, with no attempt to offer him one of three available redeployment options, the Fair Work Commission has found.
An employer has failed to prove it shouldn't have to pay redundancy entitlements to workers who moved to a new labour supplier at the same site after a contract changed hands.
An employer has failed to prove it selected an employee with a "negative attitude" for redundancy because of his poor performance, and not because he made bullying and safety complaints.
An employer's "shameless" attempt to use unpaid entitlements as a bargaining chip to settle an unfair dismissal claim was "disturbing and distasteful to observe", the Fair Work Commission has said.
A redeployment offer was "clearly a demotion" for an employee, the Fair Work Commission has ruled in rejecting an employer's bid to reduce her 13-week redundancy entitlement.
An employer has failed to prove a worker's trial period didn't count towards her tenure, or that her redundancy was genuine, with the Fair Work Commission ordering it to pay her maximum compensation for unfair dismissal.
It was unfair to deny an employee the opportunity to discuss redeployment options, but her "hysterical" and "unbalanced" conduct during the consultation process made her redundancy genuine, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
Despite assisting its workers into new jobs when a contract transferred to a different supplier, an employer has failed to prove it should not have to pay them redundancy entitlements.
An employer accused of taking unlawful adverse action was "left without a leg to stand on" when a judge based her finding on a "suspicion" of conspiracy, the Federal Court has ruled in upholding its appeal.
In a long-running case analysing when a redundancy occurs due to the "ordinary and customary turnover of labour", the Federal Court has fined an employer for its "conscious and deliberate" failure to pay employees their entitlements.
