The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) rejected eight complaints by George Dempsey against Tony Miller, finding Dempsey was an independent contractor rather than an employee. The decision was dated 12 November 2025. Dempsey alleged he was owed wages, notice pay, sick leave, annual leave and public holiday entitlements, and claimed construction-sector minimum rates. Miller said Dempsey was hired as a contractor for building jobs. The WRC found Dempsey controlled his pace and workdays, supplied his own tools and could take other jobs; it concluded he was working for himself. No award was recorded.
