Just in case you were wondering
what can be a valid reason for dismissal, recent decisions of the Fair Work
Commission demonstrate:
Being rude to customers: Heggart v South Newcastle Rugby League Club [2013]
FWC 4811.
Failing to comply with workplace
hygiene standards: Uoifalelahi v Teys
Australia Southern Pty Ltd [2013] FWC 9560.
Being persistently late for work: Riley v Go Electrical Pty Ltd [2014] FWC
1890.
Forcing entry into rental premises
an employer provides to employees: Bradshaw
v BHP Coal Pty Ltd [2014] FWC 2481.
Failing to attend meetings when
directed to do so: Burns v Sacred Heart
Mission Inc [2014] FWC 3188.
In each of these cases employees
were dismissed because of these behaviours and the commission decided that
dismissal was a justified response in dealing with them.
