We are very happy to announce our most recent unfair dismissal win at the Fair Work Commission.\u00a0 Our client Ms Adachi has been reinstated to employment with Qantas Airways Limited and partly compensated with backpay.\u00a0 Commissioner Roberts issued his decision on the matter on 10 February 2014.\u00a0 We congratulate Ms Adachi on her outcome and wish her the best of luck in her future employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ms Adachi worked as a qantas air hostess for just under 25 years. Since 1998 she had been a Customer Service Supervisor. Her employment was terminated by Qantas on 15 March 2013 following an incident between her and Mr El Khoury on 17\u00a0February 2013. What occurred on 17\u00a0February and the nature of the interaction on that date between the Applicant and Mr El Khoury is the subject of strong dispute. Ms Adachi denies any misconduct and seeks reinstatement to her former position at Qantas together with compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short Outcome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In summary, the Commissioner found that there was no valid reason for the termination of Ms Adachi\u2019s employment and further found that her dismissal was harsh<\/a>, unjust and unreasonable. The Commissioner found that she should be reinstated to her former position at Qantas with full continuity of employment for all purposes excepting wages from the date of her termination of employment until the date of her reinstatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
