An exclusive Christchurch primary school employee who was forced to leave her job after shouting at pupils in a playground is allowed to pursue over $60,000 of back pay for sleepover shifts she worked.
Karen Cleverley was employed as a director of boarding from 2007 to 2011 at the prestigious Selwyn House primary school.
The Employment Relations Authority heard Ms Cleverley shouted at pupils in the playground which led to her forced resignation in 2011.
The Authority heard it was an "agreed exit" from both Ms Cleverley and the school and two days later a record of settlement was presented to her to confirm this.
The Authority heard Ms Cleverley read the agreement, however, she didn't speak to her lawyer about it and signed it.
