The Fair Work Commission has dismissed an application for relief from unfair dismissal by a former Commonwealth Insurance motor assessor, who was terminated for “serious misconduct” last year over an undeclared transfer of $500 to his bank account.
Commissioner Michelle Bissett ruled “the weight of evidence” supports a “conclusion of an inappropriate connection” between Omar Katrib and the payment, which was made soon after he raised sharply the repair cost estimate for a third-party car that was involved in a collision claim assigned to him.
