The Employment Relations Authority has found an employee breached the terms of a confidential settlement by telling other employees that she had “won” her personal grievance.  The employee had apparently returned to work and told several other employees of her “win”.

The Employment Relations Authority made an order that the employee comply with the Settlement Agreement and ensure the confidentiality of its terms are maintained and also ordered her to pay costs to the employer.
