Institutions - Employment Relations Authority

170: Vacation of office

You could also call this:

“A member of the Employment Relations Authority can be removed or leave their job for specific reasons.”

If you are a member of the Employment Relations Authority, there are three ways you can lose your job:

The Governor-General can remove you from your job if you can’t do your work properly, if you don’t do your work, or if you behave badly. The Governor-General must be sure that one of these things has happened.

If you go bankrupt under the Insolvency Act 2006, you automatically lose your job as a member of the Authority.

You can choose to leave your job at any time. To do this, you need to write a letter to the Minister telling them that you’re quitting.
