An employee was asked by her employer to assist a student with his thesis on service.  She was told to answer all his questions and make files available.

It turned out that the “student” was actually a consultant hired to make cost savings.

The employer then made the employee redundant without any proper process and she was escorted off the premises immediately.  The ERA awarded her lost wages of $15,000 and compensation of $10,000 for the way she was treated.

If you need assistance with managing a redundancy process call me for an initial chat.
