Ms Coker also told the ERA she dismissed Mrs Jarvis from her job because she believed two customer complaints from earlier in the year, which did not name who they were complaining about, were aimed at Mrs Jarvis.
On August 1, Mrs Jarvis sent Ms Coker a text message asking her what was happening with her rostered shifts, to which she did not receive a reply.
Two days later she also wrote a letter, but again did not receive a reply.
Mrs Jarvis finally wrote a letter of resignation more than a month later in order to receive her holiday pay.
Mrs Jarvis then took her dismissal to the ERA and said she was unfairly dismissed.
ERA member Rachel Larmer ruled that Mrs Jarvis' resignation letter was not genuine, and was merely a device to obtain her outstanding holiday pay.
Candyland also did not provide any opportunity for Mrs Jarvis to reply before she was dismissed.
She therefore was unfairly dismissed, and Candyland was ordered to pay Mrs Jarvis $3,748 in lost remuneration, $3750 in distress compensation, and $5250 for legal costs.
