An employee was not forced to resign after making bullying and s-xual harassment complaints, the Fair Work Commission has found.

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.

In light of the Fair Work Commission's first multi-employer bargaining decisions, many organisations will now want to think more seriously about how they can shore up control of their employment relationships, a workplace lawyer says.

An employer has claimed it didn't have to provide "gold standard" breastfeeding facilities to accommodate an employee's needs, but its pop-up tent in an open storeroom was far from an adequate solution, a tribunal found.

An employee has failed to prove that he was "performance managed out" of his job, with the Fair Work Commission finding his pattern of inappropriate conduct was a valid dismissal reason.

An employer unfairly dismissed an employee after "misunderstanding" his performance requirements and its own workplace procedures, a tribunal has found, however it declined to reinstate him due to his "manipulative" behaviour.

The FWC's first multi-employer bargaining decision reinforces that the new framework will be relevant to "pretty much every employer in the country", according to a workplace lawyer.

It was unfair of an employer not to inform a worker that it was reducing its casual headcount, and that rejecting a permanent conversion offer put his job at risk, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
