The Workplace Relations Commission found all five complaints by Syed Saeed Akhtar against Jin And Li Food Ltd., trading as Mizzoni Pizza, Mahon, not well founded. The company said it dismissed Akhtar for gross misconduct after he messaged a 16-year-old customer and used customer data to contact her. Akhtar acknowledged sending the messages but said it was a mistake and challenged the fairness of his dismissal. The officer found the dismissal fair, ruled the terms complaint was lodged outside the six-month period, and rejected the remaining complaints, including duplicate claims.
