There you have it for anyone who is afraid to push for it; big payday if they fire you for demanding a higher wage.
That pay bump probably would have been cheaper, dumb ass of a employer. Good on the welder though, great encouragement for everyone else to push it!!

How is it not? Isn’t performance tied to keeping a job? Surely pay is tied to keeping an employee.
>“Notwithstanding the above, it is not reasonable to use the threat of resignation as a tool to get pay increases. I accept that the threat of resignation had been used by the complainant as a tactic to achieve this aim in the past. In this instance the threat backfired. Some level of responsibility for the outcome of the interaction lies with the complainant,” Mr McGrath wrote.
It is absolutely reasonable to use a threat of resignation as a tool to get pay increases. I have never come across any legislation or case law the argues otherwise. It’s an incredibly common tactic to receive a higher paid job offer elsewhere and bring it to the attention of your current manager with the clear logic being that unless you’re offered something better, you’re resigning.
What an utterly barmy comment by the adjudicator.
Unless a resignation has been submitted in writing, there is no resignation. Even if the employee stops turning up for work, it is not a resignation and the employer must formally go through the termination process.
Same thing is happening in hospitality.
When leveraging pay rises, make sure your one of those people who your employer cannot afford to lose.
Are you proficient or have the skills for something literally every one of your team mates is not?
If your not, don’t bother your arse. Pay rise is only going to happen through job hopping.
