Consultant's breach of code of conduct, diversity policy amounted to valid reason for dismissal
It goes without saying that employees should treat each other with respect and courtesy in the workplace. In a recent decision, the Fair Work Commission (FWC) was tasked with considering a claim from a dismissed employee who alleged that remarks he made in the workplace were not offensive and did not justify his dismissal. The employee in this case was a customer save consultant and had been working for his employer for about two years. In 2018, as part of his employment, the employee attended a training course with his colleagues about identifying customer concerns over telephone. The training required the attendees to diagnose a customer’s issues as though they were a doctor. In the course of the exercise, the employee said to the trainer, "ask these guys", meaning the three colleagues sitting next to him who he believed to be Indian. The trainer asked, "why these guys?", and the employee responded, "they’re Indian, and all Indians are doctors".
Former manager misled into signing mutual separation agreement awarded RM184k
A former Industrial Relations manager was awarded RM184,000 as compensation after the Industrial Court found that he was misled into signing a mutual separation agreement on grounds of redundancy. Industrial Court chairman D Paramalingan said N Murali Tharan Nair was forced to sign the agreement dated Feb 5, 2018, as a result of misrepresentations by senior executives of his employer, HLMG Management Co Sdn Bhd. "The claimant has succeeded in proving, on a balance of probabilities, that he had been dismissed by the company in the guise of a mutual separation scheme," Paramalingam said in his 32-page award delivered yesterday. Paramalingam said the evidence showed that the company’s senior executives had misrepresented to Murali that he had been found redundant during a restructuring exercise.
