The Helicopter Line was ordered by the Employment Relations Authority to pay $17,740 to former cafe assistant Jonathan Lovatt after finding his dismissal on December 2, 2024 was unjustified.
Authority member Antoinette Baker said the company fell well short of treating Lovatt fairly, rejected its claim that he was redundant, and noted he had told his acting manager he was “burnt out” and needed a sick day three days before the termination letter; the company had alleged he refused to train new staff and take on other duties.
