The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed a receptionist’s unfair dismissal claim after finding that her admitted manipulation of the appointments system was a fundamental breach of trust. The decision was dated 6 October 2017. The receptionist said the dismissal was disproportionate and linked to ongoing issues with her manager, including a bullying complaint. The company said the misconduct warranted dismissal. The adjudication officer found the investigation and appeal process fair and was not convinced the alleged interpersonal issues had materially influenced the decision.
