The Right to be AccompaniedThe Employment Relations Act 1999 introduced a right for workers to be accompanied at a disciplinary or grievance hearing by a trade union representative or a fellow worker.
From September 2000 a worker who is "required or invited" by their employer to attend a disciplinary or grievance hearing, may "reasonably request" to be accompanied by a "single companion". The companion can be a paid trade union officer, a lay trade union official or a fellow worker.ArticlesThe Right to be Accompanied - 17 June 2005Opportunities in the Right to be Accompanied - 17 June 2005 FAQSWhat is a reasonable request to be accompanied ? - 17 June 2005Who can be my companion ? - 17 June 2005 Do workers have to be colleagues ? - 17 June 2005 Does a worker have right to paid time off for accompanying someone employed by a different employer ? - 17 June 2005 What can a companion do ? - 17 June 2005 |
