WRC recommends placement worker discuss grievance with former employer

The WRC recommended that a worker discuss her grievance with the organisation that arranged her placement after she mistakenly treated a charity shop as her employer. The recommendation was dated 13 May 2022. The worker said she was unhappy with her treatment at the shop and felt unable to raise her concerns with her team leader. She also said she was unaware of a grievance procedure. The adjudicator could not fully examine the grievance because the former employer had not had an opportunity to respond. The WRC also recommended that placement workers receive a copy of the grievance procedure.
