An
employee has resigned after being bullied and intimidated by her manager and
supervisor who told her that she was untrustworthy and evil.
The
Employment Relations Authority upheld the employee’s personal grievance claim
for unjustified constructive dismissal.
The
ERA held that the actions of the employer’s staff had the cumulative effect of
destroying the necessary relationship of trust and confidence in their
employment relationship.
The
ERA ordered the employer to pay the employee $10,000 in compensation for
humiliation, loss of dignity and injury to feelings.
The
ERA noted that this was their second finding against the employer over
allegations of bullying by its staff this year. The ERA noted that the employer
had previously been ordered to pay $15,500 in compensation to another one of
their employees as a result of bullying in the workplace.
