Boss who went 'radio silent' and cut off worker's shifts ordered to pay over $14,000

The boss of TBS Trading Limited has been ordered to pay over $14,000 after the Employment Relations Authority ruled that the company unjustifiably dismissed and disadvantaged a retail sales assistant named Jia Jia. Jia Jia was abruptly cut off from shifts and left without communication from the boss, leading to a significant loss of income. This decision highlights the importance of fair employment practices and the consequences businesses face when they fail to treat employees with respect and transparency. The ruling could serve as a warning to other employers about the repercussions of such actions.
