Mr McDonnell employed by the Respondents from September 1999 until his dismissal on 3 September 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Respondent refused to participate in the conciliation process, and instead lodged a Jurisdictional Objection, claiming that Mr McDonnell was not covered by the unfair dismissal provisions as his salary exceeded the high income threshold of $123,300, and he was not covered by a modern award or enterprise bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing was conducted on January 18 2013 before Senior Deputy President Watson. The crux of the argument relied upon the value that could be associated with his use of a company car. The Respondents claimed that his use of the car put him over the threshold limit. AWNA successfully argued against this submission. On 6 February 2013 it was found by Senior Deputy President Watson that Mr McDonnell\u2019s income was in fact $123,185 (just $125 shy of the high income threshold), therefore he was protected from unfair dismissal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr McDonnell\u2019s unfair dismissal application is now proceeding to a hearing as to the merits of the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
