The Act contains certain provisions that limit the scope of stress claims where the stress arises out of various management and industrial relations issues, in other words the act excludes any claim caused by stress if the stress arises from any of the following:
your dismissal;
your retrenchment;
your demotion;
disciplinary proceedings against you;
your transfer or redeployment;
not being promoted;
having been reclassified in a job description;
you not being transferred or granted leave of absence or any other benefit.
However, if the abovementioned exclusions were unreasonable and harsh on the part of your employer, you may potentially have a claim for stress arising out of one of the exclusions.
