Wellington employment consultant?

[Paul in NZ]

No not for me but for Miss Vicki...

Anyone used a good employment consultant? There is the distinct posibility of some up coming unpleasantness of the personal grievance nature. Need be wellington or kapiti based...

Please - I can use a phone book - personal recommendations only...

Hopefully a smooooth redundancy will ensue but.... arses gotta be arses....

I'm using Ranstad or Kinetic to get my staff both are not too bad from an employers perspective.
What sort of work is she after Paul?

Well none at the moment ;-) But its more a case of making sure her rights are protected n what could get a bit messy...

Bugger got that wrong sorry. Mistook Consultant to mean she was looking for work rather than needing a lawyer type role...

I don't have any ideas on assistance sorry Paul, but I can say that it seems to be happening more and more these days.

[yungatart]

Fingers crossed and positive thoughts sent you way.
I can't help in any other way, unfortunately.
Good luck to Miss Vicki

Thanks folks... Its all a bit silly really but even corporates seem to insist on doing silly things they have no right to do sometimes and need to stand up for your self... I get a bit antsy when its my loverly wife so we might need a cooler head a steady aim.... Nuts really - I can't see it becoming dramatic but we want to be ready to go.

Corporates are past masters at doing silly things when it comes to lay offs, small employers make mistakes but corporates have whole departments dedicated to screw their resources of the human kind over and then defending there actions.

I wish Vicki the best. Sorry can't put you on to a employments relations lawyer in Wellington or on the coast, Palmy I knew a couple.

Hi there. I tend to sit on the other side of the table but I've come across a Wellington based employment advocate called Graeme Ogilvie whose been pretty good. Just google "Graeme Ogilvie wellington" and all his details will pop up. Seemed a decent, level headed guy with a good deal of experience. Best of luck.

Hey Paul, sorry to hear about Miss Vicki’s employment woes.

Sorry I am unable to provide you with any contact names.

I could only suggest that you take a wonder to the Citizens Advise Bureau as they will have names or contact people which will meet your needs.

There is an online employment lawyer <law.justanswer.com/New-Zealand> which may give you a start or head you in the right direction.

Regards


Paul

Thanks but if I was going that way the bare hands approach would be vastly more satisfying ;-)

I am on the employer side of the table but have you considered contacting a union?
Have had a few dealings with unions regarding proceedural unfairness in dismisal (Not my doing by the way) and despite how much I hate the "give me more" attitude of some negotiators they do know thier stuff when it comes to personal greivances.
Unions seem more than happy to take on a new member at the drop of a hat. Not sure if they need to be represented on the site already though or have more than one member. Might be worth a call?

Big corporates laying off people in the next few weeks. Wonder who that could be?

If you don't get any names soon I can contact my friend to find hisemployment lawyer's name. He's going through a protracted case with an ex employer and the guy seems good, though my mate doesn't half moan about the cost.

No its not who you think LOL This is just a small issue in the wider world and its a tiny amount of money in the big picture. Hey I think she should resign and fuck the $$. Her annual leave she is owed will likely be more than any redundancy.

BUT Vickster has a funny old school, almost biblical sense of justice... and to be fair she has her dander up over a pretty significant injustice and these guys are being arses....

OK, the one I was thinking of is offering 8 weeks for first year and 1 week for each full year after that...or 13 weeks depending on employment contract. Vickster must have a lot of holiday acrued ;)

Yeah - they are always bitching about it but whenever she wants to take it then its not the 'right' week... Hahah the offer above is like a billion times better than what Vicki would get, and shes been there 15years

Phew - looks like uncontested redundancy... Best possible outcome, just waiting for the paperwork....
