Employment Law NZ with Sophie Logie - How to terminate an employee agreement, how to issue a warning, I have been wrongfully dismissed what can I do?

02 May 2022

Description

In this episode, we speak with Sophie Logie from CavellLeith about employment issues that don't get much air time but are super important for anyone who employs staff. People make mistakes, but when an error or problem becomes a trend, we need to know how to fairly and justly manage these issues at work. It could be as simple as an employee turning up to work late every day, making a repeated mistake, or taking things from you without your consent. How do you manage this situation?  We also discuss what an employee can do if they have been unfairly dismissed or unjustly treated and the process they can follow.  In this episode, we discuss: The employment agreement says I can terminate without notice for serious misconduct; does that mean I can fire an employee? How is serious misconduct defined? What is the process of managing an employee who has acted in a way that you feel meets serious misconduct? Where can I source information to ensure that my managing process aligns with employment law? I don’t have enough evidence (CCTV, caught in the act) to discipline an employee; what can I do? What do I need to do to issue a warning to an employee? What gives an employee ground to raise a personal grievance regarding dismissal? Have an issue and would like legal advice?
