FWC throws out "Nabbed" worker's flex dispute

The FWC has held that it has no power under the Fair Work Act's flexible work dispute provisions to deal with a National Australia Bank worker's challenge to the cancellation of her WFH flexibility arrangement after she allegedly failed to comply with its terms.

Opposition retreats further on public service WFH position

The Coalition has reversed its stance on working from home in the federal public sector, while also shifting its position on slashing the APS workforce by 41,000, saying it will now be achieved over five years by natural attrition and hiring freezes, but the CPSU is warning this will still have a "devastating" effect on services.

Accord possible in crucial WFH test case: AiG

The Ai Group has hinted at a potential "consensus" in a FWC-initiated case with economy-wide implications to consider inserting WFH provisions in the clerks award, while expressing concern that it would be "unfair" to require submissions ahead of results of a survey on the issue, with the tribunal now persuaded to ditch the deadline and hold a conference.

FWC triennial report confirms agreements rebound

The number of workers covered by agreements has risen by 36.5% over the past three years, according to the latest triennial FWC general manager's report, while applications to deal with bargaining disputes rose 73.5% over the same period.

Right to request flex work overrides agreement terms

The FWC has upheld a worker's flexible work request after his employer ended an informal 13-year arrangement, in a decision reaffirming the precedence of the NES, even when it is inconsistent with the terms of an enterprise agreement.

Reasonable, generous employer's flex request ruling upheld

A tribunal has found an "extremely accommodating" Queensland Health acted fairly and reasonably in its treatment of a worker's largely unsuccessful bid to expand her flexible work arrangement.

Anti-bullying claim a "waste of resources": FWC

It would have been "sensible" for a worker to take up the "generous support" offered by his employer, rather than filing an "unwarranted" anti-bullying claim, the FWC has ruled, finding a performance management plan, letter of expectations and a warning amounted to reasonable management action.

Greens to push for four-day-week trials

The Greens have launched a four-day work week election policy under which it would fund a new national institute to coordinate industry trials, while the FWC today starts hearing an ARA bid to have a compressed-hours four-day work week included in Australia's most broadly used award, along with a host of other changes.

WFH survey "skewed": AiG

The Australian Industry Group has expressed dismay at the "skewed" drafting of a FWC survey aiming to gather information on how the clerical award currently impedes or enables working from home.

WFH crucial, say public sector union members

Nine in 10 women responding to a major CPSU survey say it is "very important" to be able to work from home and those who do are more likely to be satisfied with their work-life balance, while the ACTU says Coalition plans to force public servants back to the office if it wins government will hurt productivity and women's job opportunities.
