242 Application to Industrial Relations Commission for reinstatement order if employer does not reinstate
(cf IR Act, s 93)
If an employer does not reinstate the worker immediately to employment of the kind for which the worker has so applied for reinstatement (or to any other kind of employment that is no less advantageous to the worker), the worker may apply to the Industrial Relations Commission for a reinstatement order.
An industrial organisation of employees may make the application on behalf of the worker.
The Industrial Relations Commission may not make a reinstatement order, except in special circumstances, if the application to the employer for reinstatement was made more than 2 years after the injured worker was dismissed.
