Australian Woman Fired for Insufficient Typing While Working from Home
Originally Published 2 years ago — by NDTV
An Australian woman, Suzie Cheikho, was fired from her job at Insurance Australia Group (IAG) after the company used keystroke technology to monitor her work-from-home performance. The company found that she had low keystroke activity, started work late on multiple days, finished early, and did not work her rostered hours. The Fair Work Commission (FWC) rejected her unfair dismissal claim, stating that she was fired for valid reasons of misconduct. Ms Cheikho claimed that she was targeted due to her mental health issues, but the FWC ruled that she was not working as required during her designated working hours.
