Employment Agreements

Since the Employment Relations Act 2000 came into force, it has become a legal requirement for all employees to have written terms and conditions of employment.

The Act also heralded a new set of obligations upon employers concerning the rules around employing staff.

Any Employment Agreement (whether individual or collective) is a critical document for defining how employers and employees act, and is the first point of reference should things go wrong!

To help you meet your obligations under the Employment Relations Act 2000 we can:

Prepare Employment Agreements to meet current legal requirements as well as the particular needs of your business. These Agreements may be:

Individual
Collective
Casual (As and when required)
Fixed Term (Temporary)
Part-time or Full-time (Permanent)

Negotiate Collective Agreements on your behalf with the union involved
Review any existing agreements to ensure they comply with current legislation and common law
Advise you on any queries around the application or interpretation of Employment Agreements e.g. absenteeism, deduction from wages
Advise you on case law, and how legal opinion is developing on any given issue within your employment agreements, e.g. the new duty of Good Faith
