That’s what Fair Work Australia ruled yesterday against a boutique owner in Sydney’s south west who sent a text to a worker on Boxing Day seeking to terminate an employment arrangement.
“You can pick up your pay tomorrow and drop the key. You don’t need to call me and I don’t see that we can work together,” Modestie Boutique director Sophia Sarkis wrote to a member of staff after a disagreement over work schedules.
Sarkis also wrote to her employee that she was “hurt” by her employee, Sedina Sokolovic actions, who sought to change a shift without prior notice, News Ltd reports.
Fair Work ruled the action was harsh, unjust and unreasonable and awarded Sokolovic almost $10,000 ($9992).
