Esports Athlete: Emily Jones

Gfinity Supercars Eseries

Congratulations to our very own Esports athlete Emily Jones for her first podium finish, a brilliant 2nd place, in race 2 of the latest round of the Gfinity Supercars Eseries.

In creating Workplace Law Racing, we wanted to give Emily the opportunity to create history while pursuing one of her dreams. As such, it was an emotional night last Tuesday when Emily became the first female sim racer to finish on the podium in a Supercars Eseries event!

Emily’s long hours of practice were finally reward with this well-earned result which we hope will inspire other young girls and women in the gaming and Esports industry.

Relationship status: It’s complicated

There is a common misconception that probationary periods allow an employer to dismiss an employee for any reason (or for no reason at all) prior to the confirmation of their employment. This is not necessarily the case and, in fact, there is no statutory basis that entitles an employer and an employee to a probationary period.

All of us at Workplace Law want to congratulate Sydney FC’s W-League Captain, Teresa Polias on playing in her 150th game for the Sky Blues in a fantastic 2-0 win against the Western Sydney Wanderers.
