Employment Relations Act 2000, ss 123, 125–127
The Employment Relations Authority can order your employer to put you back in your previous position or in a position that’s at least as good.
If you’ve asked the Authority to give you your job back, they must order this if it’s reasonable to do this – whether or not they also make some other order like compensation for emotional stress.
If you take a case to the Authority, they can also order your boss to reinstate you temporarily (called “interim reinstatement”) until it decides your case.
