Australian FWC809 and1066 decisions describe CDP arranging employment for JD.com through EPG Payroll & HR Pty Ltd (offer branding Easy Payroll Global) because CDP lacked an Australian entity/licence at that historical time. EPG was the contractual employer and supplied an employee leave portal. This verifies a historical partner model, not a finding of unlawful CDP service or proof of the2026 delivery model.

FWC809 (28March2024), Marc Casis v JD.com: applicant alleged redundancy followed safety complaints; earlier unfair-dismissal proceedings against EPG settled confidentially and were withdrawn. FWC dismissed the JD application under the multiple-remedies bar and because JD was not the employer. The decision criticises confusing recruitment communications but identifies EPG as employer. CDP was not the respondent and the decision does not establish CDP wrongdoing or determine the merits of the retaliation allegation.

Fwc li outcome

FWC1066 (24April2024), Zheng Li v JD.com: EPG contract followed commencement and an incorrect start date was later corrected; prior EPG proceedings settled by deed. FWC dismissed the JD claim because JD was not the employer; the possible multiple-application bar was expressly not finally determined. The applicant alleged unfair treatment and employer confusion; no merits finding against CDP was made.
