Since the Employment Relations Act 2000 came into force, all employers are legally required to ensure that all their employees have written terms and conditions of employment. 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 and other relevant legislation 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 (see Collective Bargaining).
- 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.
For non-employment relationships, we are also able to prepare a tailored ‘Contract for Service’, for example, to cover the engagement of Contractors providing their services to your business. |
