Tammy Maxine Stevenson v Mountain Chalets (2005) Limited [2025] NZERA 248 - not dismissed, but unjustified disadvantage; casual label rejected, $8,000 compensation and holiday pay recalculation

ERA held the employee was not unequivocally dismissed after a disputed phone call about guaranteed hours, so the unjustified dismissal claim failed. But the employer's handling of her hours concerns and its reliance on a 'casual' label was unfair and caused unjustified disadvantage. The Authority found the relationship had become permanent part-time, ordered $8,000 compensation, and required outstanding holiday pay for the entire employment to be calculated and paid.
