Solo mum fired over a T-shirt awarded $20,000 compensation

By Matthew Backhouse

5:08 PM Wednesday Dec 11, 2013

A pregnant solo mother sacked a week before Christmas for allegedly stealing a $35 T-shirt has been awarded almost $20,000 for wrongful dismissal.

Olivia Chaney was five months pregnant when she was fired as the assistant manager of Christchurch clothing store Surreal, at the Westfield Mall in Riccarton, on December 18 last year.

Ms Chaney told the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) she intended to buy two T-shirts that came together in a $69 boxed set on December 13.
She wore one of the T-shirts straight away, because it was hot, and placed the other one on top of her bag.
The usual procedure for buying store items was to notify the manager, who would note the purchase in a diary. Staff could then take the items immediately, without paying, and settle payment over a number of weeks.
Store manager Shelley Winika was away at the time, so Ms Chaney took the items and later told company owner Lydia Luo, who she said noted the purchase in the diary.

Ms Luo denied noting the purchase of the items.
When Ms Winika returned four days later, she asked Ms Chaney whether she had taken a T-shirt from one of two boxed sets while she was away.
Ms Chaney asked if there was a problem, and was told Ms Luo had a problem. She was fired at a disciplinary meeting the following day.
Her dismissal letter said the removal of items from the store, without permission or the knowledge of any staff, constituted serious misconduct.
The letter did not specify the removed items, but only one of the two T-shirts was raised at the meeting.
Ms Chaney raised a grievance with the ERA, claiming lost wages and loss of paid maternity leave for her daughter, who was born in April.
She also claimed compensation for hurt and humiliation, saying her dismissal caused considerable financial stress because she was pregnant and a single mother.
Ms Chaney said she was unable to buy items for her baby and had to undergo blood tests and extra midwife appointments due to the stress of being dismissed.
The ERA found no evidence Ms Chaney had taken the T-shirt without intending to pay for it. However, it found Ms Chaney's failure to record the T-shirt purchase contributed to the situation that gave rise to her grievance.
The ERA ordered Surreal to pay $12,147.40 in lost wages, including parental leave, and $5600 in compensation. The company was also ordered to pay $1821.56 in costs and filing fees

中国雇员的“大度”，让人不可理解。

个人觉得不是因为怀孕解雇，还是因为偷东西。雇主是中国人，但经理和事主都是洋人，中国人一般不太会对洋人这样做，因为洋人一定会投诉。二是，五个月，女人怀孕一般头三个月比较危险，需要休息，四个月到七个月是最皮实的时候，七个月后就可以请产假了。如果因为怀孕，应该一早就开除，而不是等到五个月。

我认为就是因为怀孕，但是就像你说的中国人一般不会对洋人太过分，我觉得本来这个老板可能就想炒，但是苦于没理，在5个月的时候衣服的事正巧发生了撞在一起了所以那老板正好借题发挥了。
我认为这是蛮明显的

可是都五个月了，没多久就可以请产假了，还有她确实没登记就拿衣服，法庭说雇主没证据证明她不愿付钱，可也不好说她会没人知道情况下主动付钱。这里还有个洋人经理，如果她不同意，雇主也不敢。要知道这里产假，雇主不用掏钱的，都是政府掏钱。她又是单亲母亲，肯定要请半年以上的产假，做的工作就是个卖衣服的sales，请个part time 不难的。唯一雇主不方便就是，怀孕期间请假，和不能干体力活，不过她的工作应该没什么体力活的，请假也就是一个月一次看midwife，每次约二十分钟，最后两个月可能是两周一次和最后是一周一次。原本新闻没有提华人老板不老板，但是我们看到那个名字就认为华人，是华人就判断是因为是怀孕，假如这个雇主不是华人，估计如此下这个判断的人就少了。skykiwi首页上有这个新闻，不过没提华人老板，我看回复都站在雇主这边。

你说不好说他会主动付钱
可是在我看来如果她真的想偷不太可能会直接穿在身上吧。。那就太明显了呀你说不是吗。谁偷衣服会直接穿身上呢
而且她不是确实主动告诉老板了吗虽然老板好像不承认但是经理问的时候不是也照实说了完全没掩饰呀。
再说了立刻就要休产假的时候更不太可能偷东西呀，所以虽然你说老板的动机小，但是这里雇员的动机应该是更近似于不可能呀

我觉得如果老板故意的，那老板脑子真不打好使。。。。。。。。

5个月了，再几个月都生了，然后工资也不是老板自己掏，，，一般洋人请产假时间又短。。

我们店洋人怀孕一直上班，每天6点半开始，现在快生了准备休产假，休个3个月就回来了。。。

这老板都雇佣带娃的都5个月了，这时候因为怀孕辞退，那脑子纯属抽风。。。
