Catering assistant loses unfair dismissal after coughing on nurse
A catering assistant has lost his unfair dismissal claim after being sacked for deliberately coughing on a nurse.
The Fair Work Commission rejected the man’s claim that the cough happened so suddenly that he couldn’t cover his mouth.
As a result, the Commission said he posed a serious health risk, and therefore, ruled the dismissal fair.
