It is important for employers to ensure that appropriate employment agreements, policies and procedures are in place and correctly implemented in order to comply with the Employment Relations Act. We also act on behalf of employees in disputes related to employment rights and laws.
The Employment Relations Act 2000 places greater onus on the employer to ensure compliance, not only with contractual terms required in any agreement but also statutory terms.
There are numerous points that an employer should include in the employment agreement. Procedural steps necessary when employing staff and dealing with union and non-union employees are also important. To minimise compliance costs and to mitigate against the risk of claims against an employer, it is important to correctly implement the appropriate employment policies.
