KEY POINTS:
An Air New Zealand employee fired after being caught spending up to a third of his working hours accessing internet sites, including dating and online chat services, was unjustifiably dismissed, the Employment Relations Authority has determined.
It awarded Brian Crisp, who worked as a cargo training co-ordinator for more than 25 years before his dismissal in 2005, just $2000 compensation, saying his behaviour significantly contributed to his dismissal.
