An Auckland man who suffered a seizure three days into his new job has been awarded more than $14,000 after the company fired him for causing unforeseen stress.
Ashley Wakeham, who was hired as managing director by asbestos removal specialists Pacific Decontamination Service on June 5 last year, was found to have been unjustifiably dismissed by his employer.
According to ERA documents, Wakeham was hospitalised after suffering a seizure on June 7.
After returning to work on June 9, Wakeham's boss, company director Graeme Raymond, had organised a driver to drive him to and from work sites.
Wakeham, who was earning a salary of $100,000 per annum, told the authority when he received his first pay, it was less than the agreed upon amount. After questioning this with the accounts lady, Wakeham was told the difference would be paid in the next pay run.
But, on June 20, after receiving his second pay, the wage arrears had not been paid.
Wakeham alleges he phoned his boss for answers and was told the company was only prepared to pay him $40 per hour as it was going to be incurring a lot more cost having to arrange a driver to transport him to and from work sites and meetings.
Five days later (June 25) Raymond asked Wakeham to meet him at a coffee shop where he was told they couldn't continue their employment relationship, the authority heard.
Wakeham alleges Raymond told him his seizure had caused unforeseen stress and would cause additional expense for the company and he did not need him anymore.
Pacific Decontamination did not file a Statement in Reply with the authority.
In her determination, Jenni-Maree Trotman, a member of the authority, labelled Pacific Decontamination's process leading to Wakeham's dismissal defective.
Trotman said Wakeham's dismissal was immediate and abrupt, and he was not afforded a reasonable opportunity to respond to any concerns about his health, resulting in Wakeham being treated unfairly.
Wakeham was awarded $7,692 in lost wages, $2,333 in wage arrears and $4,000 compensation for hurt and humiliation.


Hepatitis C is an infectious viral disease of the liver that is notifiable in Austria. The consequences of an infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) are a damage of the liver cells or a failure of organ function. Transmission is primarily through direct contact with contaminated blood. There are acute and chronic forms of hepatitis C. The current prevalence of hepatitis C in the Austrian population is estimated at about 30,000 to 45,000 people. In addition to previously available combination therapies, new drugs to treat hepatitis C in Austria have been available since the end of 2014. Apart from people with risk behaviour profiles certain health professionals are considered to be particularly at risk for a HCV infection.
Which HCV screening measures are currently in use in Austrian hospitals?
According to the literature available what is the HCV infection risk of people in health professions? Which conclusions can be drawn for the Austrian context?
Which international HCV screening recommendations from evidence-based guidelines are available for persons with/ without clinical indications resp. risks?
Which screening methods do evidence-based guidelines recommend?
Which screening benefits and which screening harms are linked to HCV screenings for several target groups (patients with/ without clinical indications, health care staff)?
Ad Question 3) Systematic literature search in the G-I-N- and National Guideline Clearinghouse-Database, both covering evidence-based guidelines (where appropriate the consideration of other international guideline institutions such as USPSTF, CTFPHC, CDC, the German AWMF) as well as handsearch and websearch. Restriction to guidelines including the new hepatitis C therapies.

HomeUnion Budget 2016-17Corporate Reactions Story
When is Ecommerce going to be fully liberalised?
Punit Sindhwani, Member of Ecommerce Coalition and Founder, Mirchimart | Wednesday, March 2, 2016 | 20:57 IST
The recent budget is being widely hailed as a balanced attempt at fiscal consolidation while managing the agrarian economy, building social infrastructure and encouraging financial reforms.
Punit Sindhwani, Member of Ecommerce Coalition and Founder, Mirchimart
The recent budget is being widely hailed as a balanced attempt at fiscal consolidation while managing the agrarian economy, building social infrastructure and encouraging financial reforms. In the din of the congratulatory noises and some acrid reactions to the proposed EPF tax regime, what is lost is the small voice of independent sectors that could have made a big difference if they had been heard.
The excitement and expectations built up on the back of frequently declared intentions of making India a hub of manufacturing and the justifiably vaunted ideals of Start-Up India, Digital India, Make in India, have held out expectations of a dramatic intervention to the current regulatory regime for the e-commerce sector. E-commerce is a microcosm of each of these initiatives and involves components of Make in India, Digital India and Start-Up India in an alchemy that holds exponential power for growth. But it is clear that the government has chosen to see each of these initiatives as independent motors of growth rather than an integrated ecosystem that runs on shared dynamics.
Foreign investment is a key component driving the Make in India programme. It would be disingenuous to pretend that we are not aiming for foreign investment when every allowance in the current budget is designed to make India attractive to foreign investors. The easing of doing business is not an isolated idea for excellence per se. It is a derivative of our desire to draw more money into our industry, manufacturing and services. That is why the budget made a dramatic allowance of 100 per cent FDI in food processing, a sector considered for long to be a holy cow.
But contrast that with the reticence to allow FDI in e-commerce, which is powering on as the single fastest growing sector in a limp economy, and you get the feeling that there is a bureaucratic mind block about it. The attitude and reflex on allowing FDI in retail and e-commerce has exhibited at different times both paranoia as well as schizophrenia. Regulations have failed the essential test of parity, for while FDI in single-brand brick-and-mortar retail is allowed in the automatic route, and it was allowed similarly for single-brand e-commerce too, it trips at the point where multi-brand retail comes in.
This regulatory attitude is inimical to the spirit of the start-up culture in general and e-commerce in particular because there are even greater impediments constructed for this sector. For example, the restrictions on access to foreign capital for inventory-led B2C e-commerce platforms have forced most e-commerce companies to operate within the limitations of the far less efficient B2B model. The chasm between the B2B model and the B2C model is an artificial divide unknown to markets in the free world.
Entrepreneurs in India are dealing with a regulatory deformity that cannot be explained easily except by assumptions of satisfying a constituency of traders who had earlier objected to the idea but who have now themselves jumped on the bandwagon and set up e-commerce sites or become happy partners with it.
Different FDI regulations for the varied business models only seek to restrict rather than enable the growth of the industry. Repeated representations to the Department to look at this objectively have failed. Even the taxation regime for e-commerce hangs like a Damocles' sword over the sector, which is almost in terror for delivering the fruits of employment, infrastructure augmentation and manufacturing boost.
Everyone agrees that the ecosystem created by the growth of e-commerce has been exponential. Estimates indicate that close to $25 billion will be needed over the next five years to scale up warehousing, delivery, data centres, customer service, product development and technology upgradation.
This investment could potentially create over 7 lakh jobs directly and millions more indirectly. It stands to reason that this would also trigger large-scale investments by product manufacturers into India, to make and sell in India. [The Chinese firm Xiaomi is setting up a plant and data centre in India, based on the success it has had selling exclusively through the e-commerce channel.] Liberalising entry of foreign capital, technology and expertise in the sector can create a multiplier effect for local manufacturing, immediately and without long gestation.
The absence of any indications of allowance of FDI in B2C e-commerce or any clarification in rules of operation or simplification of taxation regulations in the Budget have left the status quo unchallenged and the distinct feeling that government regulation continues to belie the optimism we hold about ambitious national growth programs.
Still, there are encouraging signs in this budget. We see distinct forward movement in the impetus offered to the food processing industry where it has been allowed 100 per cent FDI. It stands to reason that if the food processing industry and retail sector could be allowed access to FDI, it must follow that e-commerce, which is fuelling the retail and infrastructure boom, follows suit.
The reduction and removal of corporate tax on new manufacturing units, small units and new companies should make a positive impact on MSMEs and suppliers to e-commerce platforms.
The government has also withdrawn the six-day stipulation for small retail units, which will have a salutary effect on sales and man days of employment. We believe that the e-commerce industry is also ripe for just such a reformist agenda, which would level the e-commerce field by removing the artificial barriers created between the B2B and B2C models and allowing FDI in the sector without distinctions.

Sprint and T-Mobile said to cling to as much spectrum before conceding to government
The FCC and Department of Justice are set to look at a merger between the nation's fourth- and third-largest cellular networks. They'll be making demands.

SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom are reportedly preparing to announce a merger between their US carriers, Sprint and T-Mobile. Sprint has upped its lobbying power in Washington to assuage regulators from the FCC and Department of Justice. Still, in order to be competitive with AT&T and Verizon, the two will have to retain as much spectrum as possible.
Reuters reports from its sources that the two will not plan for any divestitures when announcing the merger deal, thought to be within the next month. The two look to keep as much spectrum and cost structures before having to make way for government demands. Regulator concerns dashed a merger attempt in 2014 under the Obama administration. The Trump administration is expected to be friendlier and more lax on the regulatory side.
"It is better for Sprint and T-Mobile to listen and learn the concerns of regulators first, and see whether there is anything that can be done to address those concerns," MoffettNathanson research analyst Craig Moffett said.
However, one source says that the two companies have not set a cap on what they would be willing to divest to satisfy regulators.
All together, the two companies have more than 300MHz of bandwidth. T-Mobile has valuable low-band deposits at 700MHz and it also has its new and much vaunted 600MHz licenses gained from this year's FCC auction. Sprint has a trove in the 2.5GHz region. It is the 600MHz and 2.5GHz bands that are being pushed for 5G development through at least 2020.

These are the names to know in the murder trial of Alex Murdaugh | CNN
The murder trial of disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh is underway at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, a small town about 40 miles east of Charleston. The case dates back to June 2021, when Murdaugh's wife and son were found shot to death on the family's Islandton property, known as the Moselle.
Murdaugh pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime related to the death of his wife and son. Aside from the murder charges, he also faces 99 counts stemming from alleged financial crimes.
Here are the key players in the murder trial:
Now disbarred, Murdaugh is a member of a prominent legal family in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Three generations of his family over 87 years have served as attorneys for the 14th Circuit, which oversaw prosecutions throughout the area. A portrait of his late grandfather, one of the lawyers, hung on the courtroom wall; he was removed before trial. Murdaugh has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The wife of Alex Murdaugh, who was 52 when she was found shot to death with the couple's youngest child on the family's estate in Moselle on June 7, 2021.
The 22-year-old son of Alex Murdaugh, who was found shot to death with his mother on the family's estate in Moselle on June 7, 2021. At the time, he was facing charges of boating under the influence of alcohol, causing serious damage bodily harm and causing death in connection with a 2019 boating accident that claimed the life of 19-year-old Mallory Beach, court records show. He pleaded not guilty and the charges were dropped after his death.
South Carolina, Senior Assistant to the Deputy Attorney General and Lead Prosecutor. He has been involved in the case since 2021. The state attorney general's office is prosecuting the case due to the Murdaugh family's close ties to the local attorney's office.
One of Alex Murdaugh's defense attorneys, along with Jim Griffin. Harpootlian is a South Carolina state senator and attorney whose practice in Columbia specializes in criminal defense.
One of Alex Murdaugh's defense attorneys, along with Dick Harpootlian. A former federal prosecutor, he now works as a federal and state criminal defense attorney based in Columbia, South Carolina.
The South Carolina Circuit Court judge hearing the case. He has been on the court since 2000. Newman has presided over various proceedings in the Murdaugh case since 2021.
A former client of Alex Murdaugh's. Murdaugh told authorities that he conspired with Smith to kill Murdaugh as part of an insurance fraud scheme, according to court documents, allegedly so Murdaugh's surviving son Buster could collect a $10 million life insurance payout. . Smith admitted in 2021 to being present at the shooting and disposing of the firearm afterward, according to an affidavit.
Surviving son of Alex Murdaugh. He was in court for opening statements, the first time he has appeared in court proceedings on behalf of his father, and is listed as a witness at the trial. His father's plan to have Smith kill Murdaugh was "an attempt on his part to do something to protect his (Buster's) son," Harpootlian, the attorney, said.
Alex Murdaugh's younger brother. He is listed as a witness in the trial and accompanied Buster Murdaugh to court this week.
The Murdaugh family's longtime housekeeper who died in 2018 in what was described as a "trip and fall accident" at their home. Murdaugh is accused of misappropriating funds intended for the Satterfield family as part of a wrongful death settlement.
A bloodstain pattern analysis expert who analyzed the shirt Alex Murdaugh was wearing the night his wife and son were killed. In a motion filed just before trial, the defense asked the court to bar Bevel from testifying.

TweakTown Rating: 94%Manufacturer: be quiet!
With the Dark Rock 3 now out of the box, we can take a tour around it and see what this design has to offer. From the front, there is not much else to see at the moment other than the 135mm SilentWings fan attached to it with its 4-pin plug at the bottom of this image.
Removing the fan exposed the leading edge design of the stack of fifty fins. We can see that the sides are higher than the fins in the center, and each fin has a saw toothed design on the edge.
The top of the cooler offers a stepped, black brushed aluminum cap that covers the top fin as well as offering black caps for all of the heat pipe tips. This, along with the name applied to the center, gives this cooler a sleek and stylish view as you would see it in a chassis.
Looking at the Dark Rock 3 from the right side, we see this design uses an open fin design with small tabs bent to keep the fin spacing correct. We also see that the fan is attached with wire fan clips that mount to grooves in the sides of these fins.
The back of the cooler is a fair bit unusual in its design. Offsetting the fins in groups of three does not do all that much for the airflow coming from the front fan, but, if adding a second fan, this allows room for that fan to get to full pressure and airflow.
The left side of the Dark Rock 3 is the same as what we saw on the right, as we expected it to be.
In this image, we can see the dimples applied to the fins to help disturb the air flow as it passes through the cooler's fins, but we can also see that there are six heat pipes that are packed tightly together at the base and spreading out evenly and in two lines as they run through all of the fins.
It isn't all that often that we see single tower cooler designs with such a large pre-cooler. In this example, be quiet! has incorporated this fifty tab pre-cooler to help rid this cooler of a fair bit of heat before it is taken up into the fins for removal.
As for the base, just like with the rest of the cooler body, after it has been milled to accept the hardware, and the base is milled to this near mirror finish, it all received dark nickel plating. The base is very level across most of the mating surface, but the corners are slightly rounded.
