Auckland University of Technology (AUT) has been fined $3000 for breaching a compliance order and has been told to start its redundancy plan all over again, an Employment Court decision reveals.
The Tertiary Education Union (TEU) took AUT to court claiming the university had repeated conduct and actions the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) had previously said breached their collective agreement.
The court ruled AUT breached one of four compliance orders and that a modest fine of $3000 should be paid.
The ruling also said the university would have to “start again” with its redundancy process.
