Appeal court orders $600,000 payout to redundant overseas-based employee

An overseas-based IT developer has been awarded almost $600,000 in unpaid notice, leave and salary entitlements after an appeal court rejected a health technology conglomerate's argument that his most recent contract was with a different employer within its group. The bench accepted that he wasn't an Australian-based employee under the terms of the Fair Work Act.
