THE Industrial Disputes Tribunal (IDT) has ordered Spectrum Insurance Brokers to pay a former employee $6.8 million after it found that his dismissal by way of redundancy in 2019 was “unjustifiable”.
In a ruling handed down on Tuesday the IDT rejected the company’s arguments that it was facing financial challenges at the time it decided to make the position of Claims Manager Laurel Smith redundant.
Initially, lawyers representing the company had argued that the IDT lacked the jurisdiction to hear matters regarding redundancies after the Ministry of Labour sent the dispute for its hearing in 2021.
