Our experienced staff can assist you in all areas
of New Zealand employment legislation. Employment
law in New Zealand can be a minefield - you need
someone at the end of the phone or email able to
assist with all aspects of this area.
For example you may be aware of minimum wage
legislation in New Zealand and the Holidays Act but
were you aware of the Human Rights Act and Equal
Employment opportunities in the workplace and the
penalties for not following this? Or, what do you do
if you want to fire a member of staff and he or she
has a grievance. Even worse, what happens if you are
being sued by an ex-employee or OSH are not happy
that your workplace meets New Zealand Health and
Safety regulations? A quick phone call to us can
ensure that you do everything procedurally correct
and do not end up paying thousands of dollars in
compensation to your ex-staff member or thousands of
dollars in the form of a fine.
We have listed below some areas we are experts.
We can offer one off support in this area or discuss
a monthly or annual support fee which may work out
cheaper for you should you need free advice more
than a few times each month.
