The law surrounding the employment of staff has become increasingly specialised, and trying to get it right can be frustrating for employers who just want to deal with a problem and move on. If you are unsure about how to proceed lawfully with managing a specific employment issue, we can:
Advise whether your proposed course of action is lawful and recommend the best approach to minimise risk of litigation, plus identify any alternative options, so you can decide what’s best for your business.
Recommend the best way forward if you are already facing a legal challenge. We also provide legal advice in all areas of employment law. Specifically:
- Disciplinary matters – the correct way to discipline and dismiss staff.
- Personal Grievance claims, Dispute claims, and Wage claims – how to prevent them arising and how to deal with them when they do arise.
- Redundancy & Restructuring – ensuring the process is completed properly and efficiently with minimum risk.
- ACC review hearings.
- Strikes, lockouts and suspensions.
- General employment matters – the correct way to pay holiday pay and other forms of leave, dealing with continual lateness or poor work performance, dealing with conflict in the workplace.
