An employee who lodged his personal grievance
with the Employment Relations Authority on the 90th day after his
dismissal has had his claim rejected as out of time.
The ERA ruled that although the claim was filed
on the 90th day it was not received by the employer until the 95th
day and was out of time.
The employee must raise the personal grievance
with their employer within 90 days (not file their claim at the ERA within 90
days).
If the employee had taken a copy to the
employer on the day he lodged the claim he would have been in time.
No extension for special circumstances was
granted and the claim failed.
If you need help raising a personal grievance
or responding to one give me a call on (04) 473 6850.
