My daughter needed help with issues at work. Amanda guided us through the process and it was immensely helpful to have someone pragmatic and calm with so much experience letting us know what to do. Amanda not only explained the process clearly as we went, but also gave us good advice on how to respond. We were very happy with the final outcome and my daughter was able to move on with her head held high.

I have been to Employment Matters for help in two different work scenarios. Each time they have not failed me! Thank you.

I felt like I was in a nightmare with nowhere to turn. I felt better immediately once I spoke to Amanda. She and Tara were so supportive and helped me get out of a nasty situation without delay.

 

Ewan S, Napier

Although Amanda was representing my employee I found her fair to deal with – she was realistic, pragmatic and managed to get both parties to walk away with a handshake and a smile.

 

Doug F, Hastings

In a really stressful situation that I could not stop thinking about it was so good to have someone speaking for me.  Amanda did that, and she kept me calm and explained every step to me clearly so I could get a handle on it.

I had already engaged with my employer in the redundancy process but found Amanda to be very helpful on the phone and by email. In the end she stepped in and negotiated me a settlement. Excellent result!
