The Warehouse Group must pay a former worker who suffered burnout almost $50,000.
The Employment Relations Authority has ruled in the favour of Noel Leeming employee, Stephen Perry.
The Waikato specialist and salesman complained his workload and sales targets were too high, affecting his mental health.
The dispute escalated and he was suspended and resorted to mediation, with his employer arguing his complaints were too vague.
The ERA has ruled Perry's personal grievance for constructive dismissal is valid.
Employment expert, Max Whitehead, told Tim Dower that the employer rebuked this ruling, offering evidence that the employee received significant support from the company.
He said that situations like this are incredibly difficult, especially for smaller employers who don’t have the same resources as major corporations.
