Sydney Trains unfairly dismissed worker 12 months after misconduct
The Fair Work Commission has found Sydney Trains unfairly dismissed a worker over an accident that happened 12 months previously.
The Commission found the employer had a valid reason for dismissal.
However, it also found it had been “grossly unfair” to revisit the matter and arrive at a different conclusion without any new evidence.
The case illustrates the perils of sacking a worker long after any misconduct has taken place.
