For the second time in as many weeks an Allied Brands subsidiary, this time Villa & Hut in Melbourne, has been found guilty of unfair dismissal of an employee under even stranger circumstances than last week's decision on Kenny's Cardiology.Allied's strategy in this case was first to dispute the exact legal name of the entity being charged by the government, and then repeatedly delaying the tribunal, and then finally failing to appear at the hearing.
The commissioner found in favour of the employee and ordered back wages to be paid in full.
There are reports that NSW is investigating the pay and hiring practises of several Baskin Robbins shops in the Sydney area including the flagship Opera House location. Charges may be filed in these cases shortly.
