📚 Case Review: Gairns v Pro Music Pty Ltd - A cautionary tale for employers. An employee has been awarded over $300,000 after a mishandled demotion caused psychiatric illness. In this case the employer: ❌ convened a meeting with the worker in an open plan office, in the presence of 2 co-workers ❌ told the worker he would be demoted after the weekend and that his salary would be reduced ❌ gave the worker no prior notice of the meeting ❌ knew that the worker was an emotionally vulnerable person ❌ failed to raise any previous performance issues with the worker in a formalised way, prior to the meeting ❌ appointed a new employee to the worker's role, rendering his position unnecessary The Court found that the employer's conduct would have been distressing to any employee. This case highlights the crucial need for employers to follow proper procedures and consider the mental well-being of their staff. #PersonalInjuryLaw #WorkersCompensation #qldlaw #auslaw #humanresources #EmploymentLaw #LegalInsights #WorkersRights #WorkplaceWellness https://lnkd.in/gs8GzzVX
