A piece of very interesting news has come out from Australia. An insurance company here suddenly showed the way out to a female employee working for 18 years. The company found out from keystroke technology that she wasn't typing enough while working from home. Let us tell you, with the keystroke technique, it can be detected how many times the keys of the keyboard have been pressed.

Not enough typing was heavy
According to media reports, Insurance Australia Group (IAG) consultant Suji Shekho was sacked for not doing enough typing while working from home. He then filed a petition with the Fair Work Commission (FWC) of Australia, which dismissed it saying that he had been fired for good reasons. The commission said Shekho was responsible for creating insurance documents, meeting deadlines, and monitoring work-from-home compliance, among other roles.


Women accused the company
While giving the decision, the FWC said Shekho was terminated in February this year for not meeting deadlines, being absent from meetings, being out of touch, and failing to complete a task. Subsequently, the industry regulator fined IAG. At the same time, a month later, the woman accused the company that it was already planned to get her out of the job. He was targeted because of his mental health issues.


Long time no work
To this, the FWC said that the company had warned the woman before sacking her. In November last year, the former female employee was given a formal warning about her work. Along with this, a plan was made to keep an eye on his work. Keystroke technology was used for this. It tracked the number of times Shekho pressed the keys on his keyboard over 49 working days from October to December. It revealed that women started work late on 47 days, did not work their prescribed hours on 44 days, finished early on 29 days, and did not work at all on four days.


Typing not done for hours and hours
Not only this, but the technology also showed that in the number of days, the woman was logged on, very little time was spent on typing. No typing at all was done for more than 117 hours in October, 143 hours in November, and 60 hours in December. However, Shekho refused to accept it. She said that sometimes when there were system issues, she used devices other than her laptop to log in.

Very disappointing working hours
Thomas Roberts, deputy chairman of the FWC, said the evidence showed the woman employee did not work during prescribed working hours. Therefore his petition is dismissed. He said that I do not doubt that the reason behind the removal of the applicant from the job would be something else. His tenure is very disappointing.
