The past year's unfair dismissal rulings have highlighted new challenges facing employers, while providing important insights and lessons. Watch this webcast to understand what lies ahead in this jurisdiction.
One in 10 unfair dismissal applications the Fair Work Commission received recently referred to COVID-19 vaccinations, a parliamentary inquiry has heard.
Although 84% of employees want to keep their current flexible work arrangements, only one in five have the autonomy to choose what lies ahead, and this is set to create some major workplace trust issues, according to Atlassian work futurist Dom Price.
Most organisations have now settled on their workplace vaccination stance, but in the months ahead plenty of new issues and challenges are sure to arise. This Q&A answers some key questions.
In a ruling that serves as a warning for employers mandating COVID vaccinations, a commission has found an employer arguably failed to adequately explain why it refused an employee's lengthy exemption application.
An employer was likely entitled to mandate the COVID vaccination based on its risk assessment and the potential disruption an outbreak would cause, despite not being subject to public health orders, the Federal Court has ruled in interlocutory proceedings.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to hybrid work, but there is a "recipe" that can help employers determine what their model should look like, organisational strategy specialists say.
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.
