Conduct Fair Work Commission

Conduct

The Fairwork Committee will not decide what to do if the committee is in an employer, taking an employee's perspective. The problem that the committee should handle is whether there was a legitimate reason for dismissal. [3]

A sufficient survey does not test whether the employer believed that the employer had committed the act on a reasonable basis. [4] The committee must certify whether or not the act was based on the evidence in front of him.

Inconvenienced treatments by other employees in the workplace for the same acts are relevant issues.

Employees' dishonest acts can be fraudulent and can be a legitimate reason for dismissal. However, dishonest acts do not automatically make employee firing unreasonable. [8]

A single foolish and illegal act does not always justify the omission of dismissal in a specific case.

It is a legitimate reason for dismissal that employees do not obey the employees' legal and reasonable instructions.

Serious misconduct

Fair work rules 1. 07 define serious illegal activities. Serious illegal activities are intentional or intentional, contradicting the continuation of employment contracts. [13] The act of serious and imminent dangers of human health and safety, employer's business reputation, execution, and profitability.

Serious illegal acts include theft, fraud, assault, sexual harassment, drunkenness during work, and rejection of legal and reasonable instructions that match employment contracts.

If a serious delinquency is filed, the test of the justifiable reason for dismissal will not change. The legitimate reason for dismissal is that there is no need for an act equivalent to the denial of the employment contract. [16]

If an employee was dismissed (simply fired) without notice due to a serious illegal act, the committee was dismissed because it was an unprecedented response to simple dismissal despite the legitimate reason for the dismissal. It can be recognized as harsh [17].

If that act includes serious illegal activities, the principles established in BriginShaw V Briginshaw [18] may be related: < SPAN> Fairwork Committee is an employer, and the committee is the committee. There is no deciding what to do if you are an employer [2]. The problem that the committee should handle is whether there was a legitimate reason for dismissal. [3]

Although the proof criterion is still a balance of probability, "the nature of the issue inevitably affects the process of achieving reasonable satisfaction" [19], and such satisfaction is "inaccurate. It should not be obtained by proof, unclear testimony, indirect inference, "and" should not be obtained by elongated, vague proof, or fingered fingers in a positive conclusion. "

  • The principle of the Brigin show does not raise the standard of proof beyond the equilibrium. The strength of the evidence required to prove the facts in the equilibrium of the lid is "depending on the nature of the content to prove." [22]
  • It is only in exceptional situations that the employer has the right to add some supervision to the employee's private activities.
  • Overtime acts must be related to employment relationships.
  • The Rose v Telstra case [25] examines the related rules related to time external and summarizes as follows:
  • Objectively, it must be an act that is likely to cause serious damage to the relationship between employees and employees.

Breach of company policy

It is an act that impairs the interests of the employer.

The act is not compatible with the obligations of employees as employees. "

In the case of an act outside of working hours, the employer is not enough to claim that the act will affect the employer's reputation in some way or to impair the employee's duties. Evidence materials that can be certified are required [27].

Loss of trust and confidence

No n-operations involved in criminal crimes do not justify the dismissal. [28] Nevertheless, it must be relevant between criminal acts and employment of employees.

After several interviews, the employee admitted to such behaviour. On appeal, the Full Court held by majority that the employee's dishonest behaviour during the investigation amounted to a valid reason for dismissal.

The Full Court found that Telstra's investigation was reasonable because the employee's behaviour was disruptive to work and could potentially disrupt her work in the future. It also found that the questions Telstra asked the employee were reasonable in the circumstances. The Full Court found that the employee needed to be honest with Telstra during the investigation, despite the essentially personal nature of her activities, so that Telstra could determine and take appropriate action to deal with the difficulties. The employee's dishonesty during the investigation meant that Telstra could not be confident that she would remain honest in the future. The trust between Telstra and the employee was therefore destroyed.
