The Fair Work Commission has been dealing with a raft of resignation disputes lately, and HR teams are "going to see a lot more of this", a lawyer warns.

An employee who resigned because of a manager's "toxic" communication style has failed to prove this was her only option, despite the Fair Work Commission agreeing that it can be "very hard to tell a bully that they are a bully".

An employee who claimed he was screamed at and bullied by managers has lost his constructive dismissal claim, with the Fair Work Commission ruling that his resignation was an "overreaction" to the circumstances.

The fact that an employee's resignation coincided with another company's job offer undermined the "multiplicity of reasons" he gave to support his constructive dismissal claim, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.

The Fair Work Commission has chastised an employer for treating a long-serving manager "with disdain", but has stopped short of finding its conduct was aimed at ending his employment.

An employee did "exactly what he should have done" when a colleague threatened to fight him several times, the Fair Work Commission has found in awarding him compensation for unfair dismissal.

An employer's response to workplace bullying "fell well short of adequate", but it gave an employee several reasonable alternatives to resignation, the Fair Work Commission has found.

The Federal Circuit Court has criticised an HR manager's decision to sack an employee rather than deal with the "dilemma" of her bullying allegations, and fined him $7.6k.

An employee may have been "justifiably irate" by managers' alleged bullying behaviour towards her, but their actions were "not so significant" that they forced her to resign, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.

An employee who threatened to make a general protections claim if her employer didn't agree to her separation terms was not forced to resign, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
