From www.hallpayne.com.au: Misleading and deceptive conduct in the workplace can occur when employees misrepresent their qualifications or performance, potentially leading to termination or legal action.

Employers can also engage in misleading conduct by providing inaccurate information about job roles, which may lead employees to claim compensation or breach of contract.

Examples from Australian case law illustrate the serious consequences for both employees and employers when misrepresentation affects employment relationships.
