Wins for Number 8!
Although these wins seem to be only a few, it is important to note we have had 60+ settlements out of 90+ filings in ERA & EMPC
This is Huge!!
Employment Court overturns Employment Relations Authority determination and finds Ms Healey did raise a personal greivance within 90 days.
Sarah Blick, Authority Member says in her determination:
For these reasons MWWL is unable to establish it has discharged its statutoryrequirements to give reasonable written notice of the specified date for vaccination (Schedule3A, clause 3(2)); ensured all other reasonable alternatives to dismissal had been exhausted (Schedule 3A, clause 3(4)) prior to dismissal; and termination notice requirements (Schedule 3(3)). These failures combined with the defects in the process followed render Ms De Souza’s dismissal unjustified because MWWL is unable to demonstrate it has stepped through the statutory requirements.
