Some former employees of radio stations owned by Nova Entertainment are reportedly preparing legal action against the company.
Variety Australia reported: "At least 15 former employees are part of the proposed lawsuit – prepared by lawyer Kristian Bolwell, principal of Sydney based firm WorkLawyers – alleging claims of workplace misconduct including bullying, harassment and discrimination."
AdNews has confirmed that WorkLawyers is asking former employees of NOVA to detail their experiences.
However, a NOVA Entertainment spokesperson said: "NOVA Entertainment is not aware of the filing of any class action or other legal proceedings related to alleged workplace misconduct. NOVA Entertainment has not been served with any court documents nor has it been contacted by any legal firms in relation to any proposed class action.
"NOVA Entertainment endeavours to ensure our workplace is free of bullying and harassment, whether based on an employee’s sex, race, religion, disability or any other characteristic.
"In May 2021 we implemented Speak Up!, a new whistleblower program for employees to report any forms of misconduct as well as a new partnership with Your Call, an independent confidential service that provides a channel for reporting conduct and behaviour that falls short of our expected standards.
"We encourage anyone with concerns to contact the service."
