The board of Super Retail Group is expecting two employees to launch court proceedings against the company shortly.
The two employees - who are yet to be identified - will be represented by Harmers Workplace Lawyers. The group expects the employees to jointly claim loss and damage in the range of $30 million to $50 million.
Super Retail Group is the parent company to sporting and apparel brands Rebel Sport and Macpac, as well as retailers Supercheap Auto and BCF.
Allegations arising from the impending court proceedings are believed to include the non-disclosure of a relationship between group managing director and CEO Anthony Heraghty and the former chief human resources officer Jane Kelly - who Super Retail Group noted is not one of the two employees making the claim.
Other expected allegations include inappropriate company travel; bullying, victimisation and adverse treatment; particular employees in the corporate team having unreasonable workloads, insufficient resources and restricted access to information; and unsatisfactory company record management.
The Super Retail Group board has conducted a review and investigation into these allegations and was supported by independent external advisers. According to the group, the review and investigations concluded that none of the allegations are substantiated.
Super Retail Group added it will defend any court proceedings in relation to the allegations. Allens is acting for the group.
