If you are facing a tough situation at work, it’s important to understand your employee rights and the options that are available to you.
New Zealand retailer The Warehouse recently announced hundreds of full-time job cuts, store closures, and wage reductions to remaining staff members. At Shine Lawyers, we have witnessed an increasing number of cases where employers are unlawfully using COVID-19 to justify operational decisions and redundancies in questionable circumstances.
If you find yourself facing a similar situation to Warehouse employees or any of the following situations or issues regarding your employment, we may be able to help you:
- I’ve received a COVID-redundancy and am questioning its legitimacy
- My employer has changed the terms of my employment due to the coronavirus pandemic – including pay cuts or changes to my usual hours
- My employer has reduced my pay without consent
- My employer has taken a “no work no pay approach” where I have been able and willing to work.
