The Appeal Court of the Supreme Court of New South Wales has overturned a previous decision, finding a term of life tenure under Jewish law could not be implied to a Rabbi’s employment contract.

A recent case in the Fair Work Commission Full Bench found a previous ruling was “plainly wrong” and stated it was not the employer’s responsibility to resolve conflicts in medical assessments regarding the capacity of an employee to work.

A recent case in the Fair Work Commission upheld the dismissal of an employee who sent messages with sexual overtones and sent explicitly sexual messages to co-workers.

Terminating someone’s employment can be a challenging task for business owners and managers. A dismissal of an employee is not only personally difficult, but it can create potential legal implications if not done correctly.
