#ERAsuccess A recent Employment Relations Authority win for our team and our client.
Only about 5% of our cases end up in the ERA as most resolve before then. However when they do its always great to see our clients come away with athat recognises the stress that their employer has put them through.
In this case, our client accepted and commenced a role only to be told it did not exist and that instead they would have to work in the warehouse. The ERA held that this was a unilateral change to her terms of employment that resulted in our client feeling upset and leaving. This was not the action of a reasonable employer and the situation resulted in our client being unjustifiably dismissed.
As a result, our client was awarded $10,000 compensation and reimbursement of $4,569.78 for lost wages.
