Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction over a barista assistant’s unfair dismissal claim because it was filed against “Gloria Jeans”, which was not a legal entity or her employer. The decision was dated 10 July 2017; the merits were not decided. The worker alleged she was dismissed after telling her manager that back pain related to pregnancy meant she needed light duties. The employer argued that the claim named the wrong entity.
