Personal Grievance

A personal grievance is a formal claim the employee raises when the employer's actions do not comply with the Employment Relations Act 2000.

An example of a personal grievance is writing a claim for being unjustifiably dismissed or disadvantaged.

Unjustified 

Disadvantage

​

Being disadvantaged can happen during an employment relationship.
We can help you through the process of sorting this out.

- When an employer has affected an employee's employment or conditions of   work in a way that disadvantages them and/or has made it harder for them to   maintain their performance on the job.

- When an employer's action has not been justified (not acting in good faith)     could amount to an unjustified disadvantage.

If you feel you have been disadvantaged without good reason, or you feel your feedback was not considered, this may actually be the case, make contact with us straight away.

Unjustified Dismissal 

An employee can make an 'Unjustified Dismissal' claim if they can show that they were dismissed and they believe that:

 - The process was not fair
- The employer did not have a good reason to dismiss them
- The reason was not what a fair and reasonable employer could do under the     circumstances
- Your feedback wasn't considered or applied to the investigation meeting

If you feel you were dismissed without good reason or you feel your feedback was not taken into account this may be the case, and it is best to make contact straight away.

Collective

Bargaining 

 

Having issues with collective pay agreements?

The duty of good faith requires the parties to collective bargaining to use their best endeavours to agree on a bargaining process if possible, covering for example the items listed in code of good faith in collective bargaining.

The agreement should set out a process for conducting bargaining in an effective and efficient manner.

The aim is to encourage the parties to think about possible issues and obstacles in advance and agree on how to deal with them.

Contact us if you feel there are ongoing issues throughout the process.

Constructive 

Dismissal

 

Feeling uncomfortable with your current employment?

If an employer's action makes the situation at work so intolerable for the employee that the employee resigns, it may be considered a constructive dismissal. For example:

-When an employer has acted badly to an employee (where an employer has   breached their agreement or has treated the employee in a highly unfair   manner) and the employee feels that he or she cannot remain in the job.

- When an employer blatantly gets an employee to choose whether they   would like to resign or be dismissed.

- When an employer acts in a way to pressure an employee into resigning from   their job.

We understand, we can help.
