Jetstar Pilot Entitled to Meal & Rest Breaks

A recent Employment Court decision in the case between Greenslade v Jetstarhas may have highlighted a need for you to review your employment agreements and company policies relating to meal and rest breaks. Make sure your employees are receiving what they are entitled to under the Employment Relations Act.
In the case referred to above the Court ruled that a pilot with Jetstar, Robert Greenslade, has the right to take meal and rest breaks during his shifts. This ruling overturned an earlier decision by the Employment Relations Authority that had originally found in Jetstar’s favour.
This case is the first time that the Employment Court has considered the statutory requirements for rest and meal breaks.

Dividing into two teams we completed traditional team tasks to earn parts to a bike, with the final task being to build the bike. The twist…to the surprise of the team the bikes were then presented to two children who are currently receiving treatment for cancer. It made a good event into a great one.
