How can sacking some one by text ever be ok ?
And not engaging with the Authority is just stupid...
I've have a few small business owners who cant afford representation in the Authority, and I help them represent themselves. Far better then doing nothing.

The problem started when Tom McNally noticed a customer at a table who hadn't paid.

So the "Overseeing Shepard" is the employer of everyone who lived and worked at Gloriavale.
But is he the "owner" of all the trusts and companies owned by Gloriavale?
Compensation still seems a long way away....

Hear our take on the future of Employment Law in New Zealand in Metropol:

The Coalition agreement has been signed, and what I find interesting is the message this sends: principles and values are no more than an optional extra to be traded away at will. No real surprise here, given that we are talking about politicians. Given the enormous amount of borrowing Labour did in...

Imagine getting your arm ripped off in a conveyor belt, and then needing to find some help before you could die of blood loss - and the company knew the conveyor belt was dangerous but didn't fix it. $357 k seems quite reasonable......
