A former Woolworths employee has been accused of wasting Australia’s Fair Work Commission’s time after filing a compensation claim because he felt upset about being told to cover his backside. According to The Guardian, the Fair Work Commission deputy president, Alan Colman, published the decision on the Victorian man’s application.
Per the article, the man had alleged that he was dismissed in breach of his workplace rights and was seeking compensation for the incident. However, Colman ultimately rejected the claim, primarily because the dismissal he complained about reportedly never actually happened. He noted that this filing was the man’s fifth application in just two years, and that Wookworths stated he was never fired.
