![Leo Waters v S.T.L Linehaul Ltd [2021] NZERA 304 - Unjustified dismissal, redundancy process failures](/Images/site/EmploymentAdvocatesAucklandCard.jpg)
Leo Waters was made redundant by STL Linehaul in a process he said lacked genuine consultation and a fair opportunity to influence the decision. The ERA examined both the employer's business rationale and whether the redundancy procedure met the good-faith and justification standards.
Matched passage: The key point: even if a redundancy is genuine, an employer can still lose if there is little or no consultation, relevant information is not shared, selection criteria are not discussed, and redeployment is not properly explored.
