The FWC found the redundancy was not genuine
A NSW warehouse worker questioned her redundancy and was fired mid-shift. On 17 April 2026, the Fair Work Commission ruled it unfair.
Mask Co. Pty Ltd, a fragrance manufacturing business in New South Wales, was ordered to pay former warehouse storeperson Emma Hooper $8,664.24 in compensation after Deputy President Wright found the company had unfairly dismissed her in a case decided as Emma Hooper v Mask Co. Pty Ltd, [2026] FWC 1322.
Ms Hooper had worked at Mask since 17 June 2024, starting in a casual dispatch role before transitioning to a part-time contract in the same department around 2 October 2024, and then moving to a storeperson role around 20 January 2025. At the time of her dismissal she was working 30.4 hours across four days a week. On 23 July 2025, CEO and founder Jason Morrisby emailed her to advise her storeperson role had been made redundant, with 8 August 2025 as her final day.
She pushed back. On 25 July 2025, Ms Hooper emailed Morrisby challenging the process and noting she had lodged an application with the Fair Work Commission. Within hours, Morrisby responded by flagging her attendance and conduct as potential grounds for dismissal. Ms Hooper replied, denying misconduct and raising a complaint about a manager named Jordan, who she said had made inappropriate comments to her at work.
