COURT: MURPHY JR
PLACE: MELBOURNE
DATE: 2 MARCH 1995
REASONS FOR DECISION
Introduction
Paul Ponting “the applicant”, a member of the applicant industrial organisation, was terminated from his employment by the respondent on 23 August 1994 and brings these proceedings alleging that the termination contravened Part VIA of the Industrial Relations Act (“the Act”).
Summary of Evidence And Findings On The Evidence
The respondent conducts a major distribution centre (“the Centre”) for its product at Richmond. Since 1987 the applicant has been employed by the respondent and for the majority of that period has been employed at the Centre. He commenced employment as a labourer, was promoted to leading hand, and for the past two or three years has been a leading hand/relieving supervisor. He gave evidence that for most of the months in 1994 he was acting as a relieving supervisor at the Centre.
Because of the valuable and marketable nature of the product the respondent has an elaborate system of security controls to prevent theft from the Centre. All systems require human involvement and the respondent freely admitted in these proceedings that collusion between employees and others could result in the evasion of its controls and the theft of product.
The applicant’s duties at the Centre involved him being in a position of responsibility and trust to ensure that product received into the Centre was properly accounted for and product shipped out of the Centre was also properly accounted for. The Centre is the main distribution centre for the respondent and from there beer is delivered by truck to the bulk of its metropolitan and country customers.
Circumstances Leading To Termination
On Saturday, 20 August 1994 police at Footscray received information that on the following day a delivery of 300 slabs of stolen beer would be made to the Court House Hotel at Footscray. Surveillance was commenced early in the morning of Sunday 21 August and around 3:00pm a three tonne enclosed delivery van arrived at the hotel. A short time later beer was being unloaded from the back of the van. The police pounced and the applicant, his nephew, his nephew’s girlfriend and the publican were arrested. 390 slabs of Victoria Bitter beer were found in the truck. It was valued at about $7,800.00.
The Applicant’s Account
The applicant gave this account of how he came to be at Footscray on 21 August. He said that on Friday 19 August he had been drinking at the Royal Hotel in Clifton Hill when he was approached by a person who said his name was Steve. Steve asked if the applicant remembered that Steve had helped him out in a fight about three years ago and thus the applicant owed him a favour. The applicant told Steve he vaguely remembered the fight. Steve said he wanted the applicant to get him a rental truck. The applicant quibbled but Steve made it clear he had better do it. The applicant’s sister rented the truck which was collected by Steve the next day, Saturday 20 August. Steve gave the applicant $300.00 for the truck rental. The truck was returned on Sunday 21 August in the afternoon. At that point Steve told the applicant that he wasn’t finished yet and asked him to take the truck to an address which was written on a piece of paper.
The applicant does not drive. His nephew drove and was accompanied by his nephew’s girlfriend, and the three went to the Court House Hotel in Footscray and asked for “Bill” whose name appeared on the piece of paper.
The applicant claimed he had no idea what was in the truck. He was told by Steve not to look in there. When the party arrived Bill claimed he wasn’t expecting anything. The truck was opened and a large number of slabs of beer were revealed. Bill then said to the applicant that the applicant owed him, Bill, $1,000.00 which he had lent the applicant some time ago when Bill worked at the Royal Hotel, Clifton Hill. The applicant said he couldn’t remember the debt but if Bill said the money was owed he accepted it. Bill said he would take 50 slabs to settle the debt. The police arrived while it was being unloaded.
The applicant claimed that he feared Steve, that he more or less threatened him, and that he was supposed to carry a gun. The applicant said that he vaguely remembered Bill, whose name was actually Vele Meskovski, from the Clifton Hill Hotel.
In cross examination the applicant maintained his version of events. He claimed that he did not know Steve’s surname and said that the reason why he did not tell the CUB officials that he did not know his surname was that he was nervous.
The respondent called Vele (Bill) Meskovski who agreed that he had indeed lent the applicant $1,000.00 about two or three years prior to the incident when Mr Meskovski was the publican at the Clifton Hill Hotel. Meskovski said that he had made a couple of phone calls to the hotel seeking to chase up the debt.
The Interview With The Police
After his arrest the applicant was taken to the Footscray Police Station and later that evening interviewed. He told the police he had been unemployed for a number of years and his source of income was rabbiting. He stated that he had gone along for the ride in relation to the truck and was doing a favour for a friend. After some hesitation he advised the police that he assumed it would have been beer in the back of the truck but he didn’t know the quantity. He stated he had been approached in a pub the night before and given a TAB ticket with the address of the hotel with the name “Bill” on it. He denied knowing anyone by the name of Bill or by the name of Vele Meskovski. Vele (“Bill”) Meskovski was the licensee of the Court House Hotel and had been arrested with the applicant. He also stated that he did not owe anyone one thousand dollars. Subsequently the Safety and Security Manager of the respondent, Mr Hunt, attended and identified the applicant. The applicant then indicated to the police that it would have been bad for him to admit that he had worked with the respondent considering the amount of alcohol in the back of the truck. He then participated in the interview and was later charged. The applicant was charged with stealing beer, handling stolen goods and unlawful possession. The others arrested were also charged with a number of dishonesty offences.
The Respondent’s Investigation
Following the events of the Sunday the respondent made arrangements to interview the applicant to obtain an explanation for his involvement in a delivery of product to one of its customers.
Mr Hunt ascertained that the beer had been produced about two weeks previously in two different batches and also obtained details of the volumes of the two batches involved that had been shipped into the Centre. Mr Hunt also discussed with the police the results of their inquiries. The respondent did not interview any of the employees, some 60 of them, who worked with the applicant at the Centre, nor did it undertake a full stocktake. It did not interview those arrested with the applicant or indeed the applicant’s sister. Mr Hunt inquired as to the applicant’s personnel record, and spoke to the Distribution Department about his duties at Richmond.
Mr Brown, the General Manager, Distribution - Southern States, of the respondent gave evidence that the respondent had had no knowledge of any customer who had lost that amount of product. The shipment was of a size that a large number of customers would be holding that amount of stock. Mr Hunt gave evidence that he had done very little in the way of independent investigation because they were really waiting on information to come from the applicant. Evidence was led that a stocktake could not be undertaken during the week and was generally undertaken at weekends. Further the accuracy of the stocktake is somewhat unreliable because of its inability to identify each particular carton passing through the Centre. The respondent was unable to say whether those cartons seized had in fact passed through the Centre or been shipped direct from the brewery.
A stocktake was later undertaken at the Centre which showed a stock deficit of some 430 cartons over the relevant period. This was substantially more than the usual deficiency of 100-200 cartons per stocktake but the respondent conceded the figures did not give a completely accurate picture.
The Interview With The Applicant
On Monday 22 August the applicant had a rostered day off. He was called in for an interview that day but could not attend. On Tuesday 23 August the applicant attended an interview with the respondent. At that interview the convenor of the shop stewards of the applicant’s union was invited as were senior personnel of the respondent. In the course of the interview I find that the applicant was asked some ninety questions. His recollection of the interview was very vague and I accept the evidence of the respondent’s witnesses in relation to what ensued. The respondent’s evidence was that the applicant was invited to provide the respondent with an explanation as to the circumstances of him being found in possession of the beer at a customer of the respondent’s.
The applicant then gave his account of the events of 21 August and it was rejected by the officers of the respondent. The applicant refused to give the respondent any material which would allow the respondent to corroborate his explanation and in particular he refused to provide Steve’s surname. At no time did he say that he couldn’t remember Steve’s surname.
The respondent’s representatives at the meeting were dissatisfied with the applicant’s explanation and indicated to him that they were in a difficult position given the respondent’s policy of instant dismissal in cases of dishonest dealing with its product.
The respondent conceded that it did not make clear to the applicant at the commencement of the interview that the termination of his employment was a possible outcome. The respondent maintained however that the seriousness of the matter was conveyed to him. Mr Brown gave evidence as follows:
“I believe that we indicated strongly enough through that process (of the interview) that dismissal was a likely event in terms of his explanations.
And it was in relation to his lack of alternative explanations, was it? - Yes.”
Mr Brown also indicated that he was given “plenty of opportunities” during the course of the interview to put factors that may have led “us to a different conclusion” (to dismissal). Mr Hunt gave evidence that in the latter part of the interview “we continually asked him then to give us further reasons as to why his job shouldn’t be - he shouldn’t be terminated.” It was readily conceded by the respondent that after the applicant gave his explanation the matter was not further investigated before the decision to terminate was made.
In terms of the decision to terminate Mr Brown gave evidence that the following was taken into account:
“We took into account in coming to that decision many factors: his service length was one consideration. But of a more particular note was the fact that he had been given a position of responsibility at the Richmond warehouse distribution centre; the fact that he had been promoted into - and given the opportunity to be in an acting staff supervisory capacity. And that component of that that (sic) made the decision - was part of the decision-making process, given the fact that he had been entrusted with responsibility.”
Credibility Of Witnesses
The nature of the applicant’s version of events here is such that inevitably his credibility must be subject to close scrutiny. He faced the difficulty that he admitted that he had initially lied to the police about his occupation and his connection with the respondent. He also told lies to the police about his knowledge of the publican Mr Meskovski and whether he owed anybody one thousand dollars. He also gave different versions as to whether he was aware of the contents of the truck.
A further matter was that the applicant refused in the interview with the respondent to provide details of the surname of Steve. In evidence he said this:
“What is Steve’s surname? - I wouldn’t have a clue. I have only met him twice.”
Mr Hunt gave evidence, which was not challenged, that at no point in the four or five times that he questioned him in the interview did the applicant mention that he couldn’t remember his name. His response was:
“... one response was more than his life’s worth. He just wouldn’t answer - he wouldn’t - refused to give us any further than Steve.”
There were also other minor variations in the applicant’s account in Court compared to his account to the respondent. When pressed he was vague and evasive.
Thus the credibility of the applicant leaves much to be desired and where there is a conflict in the evidence I prefer that of the respondent’s witnesses.
Was The Investigation Adequate?
The applicant relied heavily on the case of Byrne v Australian National Airlines Commission (1994) 52 IR 10 to attack the adequacy of the investigation and to suggest that it was unreasonable. It was alleged that it was inadequate because of the failure of the respondent to interview any employees who worked with the applicant at the Centre, and to conduct a stocktake. The respondent also failed to interview the other persons who had been arrested as well and the applicant’s sister who had rented the truck.
In Byrne (above) the Full Federal Court held that the investigation was unreasonable because of the failure of the respondent to interview a fellow baggage handler who was involved in the same incident as the two persons the subject of the termination.
The case is authority for the proposition that the question of the reasonableness of an investigation must be judged in the light of the circumstances of each particular case. In that case the two employees were denying any wrong doing and the facts were not clear. The third employee may have been able to shed light on the disputed facts and it was held by Beaumont and Heerey JJ at 39 that the employer, in those circumstances, acted unreasonably in failing to interview the third member of the baggage crew.
Here the circumstances are a long way from shadowy figures in the cargo holds of a jumbo jet. Here when the respondent interviewed the applicant it had the following material before it:
The applicant was a person in a supervisory position, in a position of trust within a distribution centre where the security of that distribution centre could be breached by collusion between the staff of the respondent and other persons.
Police had received an anonymous tip off that there would be a delivery of 300 cartons of stolen beer to one of the customer’s of the respondent.
The applicant was found involved in the delivery of a large shipment of beer in irregular circumstances on a Sunday to a customer of the respondent.
The applicant had told lies to the police about his association with the respondent.
The applicant refused to give to the police sufficient details to allow the respondent to identify the purported owner of the beer.
The respondents had an inventory/warehouse system which could not identify any particular customer to whom the seized liquor had been shipped.
At the time of the interview the respondent ascertained that the beer had been manufactured in two batches approximately two weeks prior to the date it was seized. It was further ascertained that large volumes of beer manufactured on those dates had been shipped to the Centre. The respondent ascertained the personnel record of the applicant and also ascertained the duties which he had performed in the Centre at the time that those batches of beer were received.
The respondent denied that its investigation here was inadequate or that it had acted unreasonably, and this position was supported by the evidence.
The respondent had a high volume warehouse staffed by around sixty people. It was unable to precisely identify when any particular carton or pallet of its product was sent to any particular location. It was faced with the position that the applicant, a staff member who was in a position of trust and who was also in a position to compromise its security system, was refusing to provide the key piece of information, the identify of Steve, which would allow it to determine whether the applicant’s involvement in the matter was the subject of an innocent explanation. Further investigation within its own organisation would not have advanced the matter because of the inadequacies of its inventory and warehouse system. Interviewing the individuals involved in the delivery was not necessary because on the applicant’s own version he received possession of the beer from Steve. The central question was whether or not Steve had come by the beer honestly. The only person who could assist the respondent to get to the core of the matter was the applicant.
The Court therefore rejects the suggestion that the investigation was inadequate and finds that in the circumstances the actions taken by the respondent, including interviewing the applicant on 23 August, constituted a reasonable investigation in the circumstances.
Did The Respondent Breach Section 170DC Of The Act
In the course of the interview the applicant was asked a number of questions and invited to give an explanation in relation to the beer. It was made clear to him on a number of occasions that the respondent’s representatives did not accept his explanation and that he had to come up with a better one or his job would be terminated.
The applicant has failed to call any witnesses to deny the respondent’s version of what happened at the interview. I am therefore prepared to accept the respondent’s version that it was made clear to the applicant in the course of the interview that his job was on the line. I also find that following the initial rejection of his explanation of the matters he had the opportunity to provide further reasons to the meeting.
Section 170DC requires that there be an adequate opportunity to answer the allegations made. He was entitled to a “fair go” (Nicolson v Heaven and Earth Gallery Pty Ltd (1994) 126 ALR 233 at 243). I have already found that there was no need for any further investigation prior to the matters being put to the applicant. I find that the applicant did have an adequate opportunity to answer the allegations made. The allegation was a simple one, namely that the applicant had breached his duty of fidelity to the employer by failing to give to the employer a satisfactory explanation of the circumstances of his involvement of the delivery of 390 cartons of beer to the respondent’s customer on 21 August. The applicant was afforded an adequate opportunity within the terms of s.170DC to meet the allegation and therefore there has been no breach of the provision.
Did The Respondent Have A Valid Reason To Terminate The Employment?
Under s.170EDA(1) the respondent carries the onus of proof that it had a valid reason for the termination of an employee under s.170DE(1). The respondent gave as its valid reason the failure of the applicant to provide a satisfactory explanation for his involvement in the delivery to the Court House Hotel. The respondent asserted that it had lost confidence in the applicant by reason of this breach of his duty of fidelity to it.
The respondent relied on a number of cases in support of the proposition that this duty of fidelity, which is encompassed in any employment relationship, did extend to encompass a requirement to give such a satisfactory explanation.
The starting point for these authorities is the decision of the High Court in Blyth Chemicals Ltd v Bushnell (1933) 49 CLR 66 where the Court set out this test for there to be a breach of the implied duty of fidelity:
“Conduct which in respect of important matters is incompatible with the fulfilment of an employee’s duty, or involves an opposition, or conflict between his interest and his duty to his employer, or impedes the faithful performance of his obligations, or is destructive of the necessary confidence between employer and employee, is a ground of dismissal.” (Dixon and McTiernan JJ. at 81.)
Here, given the nature of the product, the position of the applicant and the reliance by the respondent on the trustworthiness of its employees for the efficacy of its security system, there can be no doubt that the failure of the applicant to provide a satisfactory explanation of his involvement in this delivery did meet the test set out in Blyth Chemicals.
A similar conclusion is reached when the additional cases relied on by the respondent namely Sybon Corporation v Rochem Limited [1984] 1 Ch 112 and Bell v Lever Bros. Ltd [1932] AC 161 are considered. In another case, Associated Dominion Assurance Society Pty Ltd v Andrew (1949) 49 S.R. (NSW) 351 at 357 Herron J. said:
“Furthermore, a duty lies upon an employee in general terms to give information to his employer such as is within the scope of his employment and which relates to the mutual interest of employer and employee. If an employee is requested at a proper time and in a reasonable manner to state to his employer facts concerning the employee’s own actions performed as an employee, provided that these relate to the master’s business, the employee is bound, generally speaking, to make such disclosure.”
In Hivac Ltd ‑v‑ Park Royal Scientific Instruments Ltd [1946] 1 Ch 169 a case dealing with employees who in their spare time were working for a rival company it was said at 174:
“In other cases it may not be a good answer (to the argument that the work was done out of hours) because the very nature of the work may be such as to make it quite clear that the duties of the employee to his employer cannot properly be performed if in his spare time the employee engages in certain classes of activities.”
These authorities provide support for the duty which the respondent said applied here. Indeed the applicant’s counsel did not really dispute the duty as formulated but chose to attack the termination on the basis that the applicant had given a reasonable explanation which should have been accepted by the respondent. It was suggested that the respondent failed to apply the presumption of innocence and acted on the assumption, inference, supposition and theoretical possibility. The applicant relied strongly on the fact that there was no evidence of any theft from the respondent or anyone else.
In my opinion the respondent has discharged its onus that it had a valid reason to terminate the applicant’s employment. In my opinion it was open to the respondent to take the position that the applicant had breached his duty of fidelity as formulated and that the breach was fundamental. The explanation proffered was not considered reasonable by the respondent. The Court too does not consider it a reasonable, satisfactory or sufficient explanation. Having regard to the evidence of the applicant and his demeanour the Court is of the view that he knows more about Steve than he has hitherto disclosed. The respondent had a valid reason under s.170DE(1) of the Act to terminate the employment.
Was There A Breach Of s.170DB Of The Act?
The applicant argued that this provision was breached because he had not been “guilty of serious misconduct, that is, misconduct of a kind that it would be unreasonable to require the employer to continue the employment during the notice period” (s.170DB(1)(b)). The respondent argued that the nature of the misconduct here was such that it met the test.
Having regard to my finding above that the employer had a valid reason to terminate the employment I find that there has been no breach of this provision. The serious nature of the breach of the implied duty of fidelity here is obvious given the importance of security to the respondent. Having lost confidence in the applicant as a result of his failure to give a satisfactory explanation it would not be reasonable to expect an employer to allow the applicant to work out his notice period. The applicant has therefore failed to make out a breach of s.170DB of the Act.
Was The Termination In Breach Of Section 170DE(2) Of The Act
The applicant argued that the termination was harsh, unjust or unreasonable because there had been an inadequate investigation, witnesses had not been interviewed and that the respondent had not taken into account his record of service. It was further argued that the respondent failed to consider alternatives to dismissal.
The Court is required to determine objectively, based on the material before it, whether the termination was harsh, unjust or unreasonable.
Here it was uncontested that the company had a policy of instant dismissal for matters involving dishonesty. For an organisation which produces a product which is so readily marketable the rationale of such a policy is obvious. The nature of the breach of duty here was not qualitatively different from an allegation involving dishonesty of an employee in the course of his or her duties.
In Gregory v Philip Morris Limited (1988) 80 ALR 455 at 462 Jenkinson J said that a dismissal may be harsh if it is “harsh of the employer to impose”. He also said that the question of reasonableness must be considered having regard to the “moral values and prudential considerations current in the community”. In Bostik (Australia) Pty Ltd v Gorgevski (No. 1) (1992) 36 FCR 20 at 29 the majority suggested that the words, “harsh, unjust or unreasonable” are ordinary non‑technical words but in Byrne v Australian National Airlines Limited (above) Black CJ at 11 indicated that the words described different concepts.
In Bi-Lo Pty Ltd v Hooper (1992) 53 IR 224 at 233 the South Australian Industrial Commission was considering a termination of employment where the employee had proffered a false explanation for his conduct regarding the disappearance of a carton of cigarettes. The Commission said:
“As the employee was given every reasonable chance to advance an explanation to the employer which would either exculpate him from any misconduct, or at least throw reasonable doubt on any such conduct, or which in the instant matter may have explained the disappearance of the carton of cigarettes, he cannot subsequently be heard to complain of the dismissal, where such dismissal is based, at the very least in part, on his own failure to offer to the employer a reasonable explanation for the disappearance of the carton of cigarettes.”
Applying the above authorities the applicant faces difficulty discharging his onus. The respondent was faced with a significant breach of its security leading to $7,800 worth of its product arriving unexplained at the door of one of its customers. The applicant was intimately involved in that very irregular delivery. He holds a position of trust with the respondent at its distribution centre. He then tells lies to the police about his connection with the respondent and gives conflicting versions of the events to the respondent and to the Court. The explanation which he has given strains credibility and has all the hallmarks of a cock and bull story. Before he was terminated he had been given an opportunity to improve on his explanation but could not do so. He was unable to improve on his explanation in Court and his credibility leaves much to be desired. I have earlier found that he knows more about Steve than he has disclosed.
A termination in these circumstances is not harsh of the employer to impose. It is not unreasonable in that it does not conflict with the moral and prudential considerations current in the community. The termination is not unjust because the applicant was given an opportunity to provide an explanation and did so. That explanation was properly rejected as unreasonable. The termination was taken after an investigation which I have held to be reasonable in the circumstances. The process was procedurally fair.
It is clear from the evidence of Mr Brown referred to above that the applicant’s level of service was considered in the decision to terminate him. Factors personal to an employee will not however make a termination harsh when the conduct on which the termination was based is sufficiently grave. Here the serious nature of the breach of duty was such the applicant’s record of service was to little avail.
The other matter is the failure of the respondent to canvas alternatives to termination. In Gregory v Philip Morris (above) there is some authority for the proposition that alternatives to dismissal should be canvassed. In that case however the individual involved was placed in a position where he could not work as a result of reasons which did not go to his performance. In those circumstances it was clearly reasonable for the employer to consider an alternative position for him. In this case however, where the respondent was faced with a breach of a duty of fidelity which went to the heart of the employment relationship, in the Court’s opinion there is no obligation to consider lesser alternatives to termination.
The termination here was not harsh, unjust or unreasonable in the circumstances and I propose to dismiss the application.
