A rather unusual case came before the Wellington Arbitration Court, when a tailoress was charged with leaving her employment without giving 24 hours’ notice as required by the terms of award. Mr Cathie stated that the case had not been brought because of any ill-feeling, but merely to give a warning to other employees. This happy-go-lucky method of quitting employment was not infrequent. Where an employee did not give notice that he or she intended to leave, the employer was greatly inconvenienced. In his own case work was hung up in a half-finished state ; and it was only by questioning some of the other employees who might happen to meet the absentee that the true facts could be ascertained. His Honor, Mr Justice Sim, said this was the first case of the kind the Court had before it in Wellington. Under the circumstances only a small fine would be imposed, but a disregard of the requirements of awards in this direction in the future would be met with a fine commensurate with the offence. Mr Cathie intimated to the Court thdt he intended to pay the fine (ss) himself.
