A Win and a Loss for Trial Periods
A recent case that was reported widely in the media raises interesting and novel issues about 90 day trials. The case Roach v. Nazareth Care Charitable Trust Board was heard in the Employment Court in Christchurch.
Mr Roach was offered a job as Business Manager on 16 June 2016. The parties subsequently agreed an employment agreement containing a 90 day trial provision. He was due to start on 10 October 2016. Subsequent to signing the agreement he was offered an alternative position as General Manager of Nazareth Care. He signed a second employment agreement on 6 September 2016 which also contained a 90 day trial period and a start date of 10 October 2016. Mr Roach never started the role of Business Manager and did not perform any of its duties or responsibilities. He started work as the General Manager on 10 October 2016. On 28 November 2016 Mr Roach was called to a meeting and dismissed in reliance on the 90 day trial period provision in his individual employment agreement and paid in lieu of notice.
