Part 9
Personal grievances, disputes, and enforcement
Object
101Object of this Part
The object of this Part is—
- to recognise that, in resolving employment relationship problems, access to both information and
mediation services is more important than adherence to rigid formal procedures; and
- to recognise that employment relationship problems are more likely to be resolved quickly and
successfully if the problems are first raised and discussed directly between the parties to the
relationship; and
- to continue to give special attention to personal grievances, and to facilitate the raising of
personal grievances with employers; and
-
- to ensure that the role of the Authority and the court in resolving employment relationship
problems is to determine the rights and obligations of the parties rather than to fix terms and
conditions of employment.
