Having a hard time working through staff disputes?

Employment NZ’s mediators offer a range of high quality mediation and case management services to help work through disputes and employment relationship breakdowns.

Considering redundancies?

Make sure you follow the workplace change process to reduce the risk of a personal grievance.  Redundancy should only happen after all redeployment options have been exhausted.  Head to Employment NZ for more information.

Workers on call?

Remember zero-hour contracts no longer exist.  If you plan to have staff on call, you must:

• give them at least some guaranteed hours of work
• specify the notice period that applies to cancellation of a shift, and
• provide reasonable compensation for time on call or when a shift is cancelled outside the notice period.
