A Canterbury dairy farmer left sick and anxious about providing for his family after being served a trespass notice by his employer has been awarded more than $22,000.
Hilsley Short was unjustifiably dismissed from Clanrye Holdings Limited last March, the Employment Relations Authority has ruled. He had been working for the Ashburton-based company since July 2019.
Short became sick and was stressed being without work, the report said. He had anxiety about not being able to support his children as a result of losing income and had trouble eating and sleeping. He was prescribed sleep medication, it said.
