Hands typing on a laptop keyboard.
Employee monitoring appears to be on the rise.
  • An employee in Australia was fired when her firm said she wasn't typing enough in her remote work.
  • Her manager said she should be hitting over 500 keystrokes an hour. She was hitting 80 in December.
  • The worker's unfair-dismissal application was thrown out, but she still says she was targeted.

A woman in Australia is blasting her ex-employer for firing her over its claims that she was not typing enough while she was working from home — even though her unfair-dismissal claim was thrown out.
