“Sydney FX Trader Wins Unfair Dismissal Case After Working from Singapore Without Approval” — what this page in the network covers. A Sydney currency trader, Charles Graham, has won an unfair dismissal case against HIFX Australia, trading as Xe, after being sacked for working from Singapore without permission. The Fair Work Commission ruled on Wednesday that Graham was unfairly dismissed in December last year, but declined to award compensation. The commission heard that Graham had also been in Bali when he told his manager he was working from home, raising questions about remote work policies and employer trust.
The case highlights the complexities of enforcing workplace location rules in an era of flexible and remote work, especially for roles that can be performed from anywhere. While the ruling vindicates Graham’s claim of unfair dismissal, the lack of compensation sends a mixed signal to both employees and employers about the consequences of breaching company policies.
