A woman in Australia is blasting her ex-employee for firing her for not typing enough when she was working from home — even though her unfair dismissal claim was thrown out.

Cheikho put in an unfair dismissal application to the Australian Fair Work Commission on March 13. The commission dismissed her application, saying she was dismissed"for a valid reason of misconduct," according to the filing.Australia's Sunrise TV programIn the filing, IAG alleged there was"very low keystroke activity" on Cheikho's laptop over the period,"which indicated that she was not presenting for work and performing work as required.

It also said she had zero keystroke activity for 117 hours in October, 143 hours in November, and 60 hours in December. Cheikho argued IAG had a"premeditated plan to remove her from the business and that she was targeted for her mental health issues," according to the filing.
