Max Whitehead: Be careful when placing a complaint with HR - Smart Money

Dame Noeline Taurua was stood down as the coach of the Silver Ferns in September due to 'significant issues' in the team. After many public statements and interviews, she was reinstated at the end of last month. 

Netball NZ, her employer, remained just vague enough that the public could allow their imaginations to run wild about what had happened. 

Andrew Bayly, MP for Port Waikato, resigned as a Minister after an 'animated discussion' during which he placed his hand on a staffers arm. He said he was led to believe a complaint had been laid, and his resignation was in response to that - but he very recently discovered that no formal complaint was made. 

Luxon has since said about Bayly, that he would have sacked him if he hadn't resigned first. 

But what is the right way to go about an employment dispute like these?
