We are Employment Advocates for Employers. Mediation, Employment Relations Authority (ERA) and Employment Court Representation. We represent employers in defending against personal grievance claims.
We defend employers from personal grievance claims. We work proactively with employers in making sure their legal bases are covered and to reduce the risk of problems arising later. Dealing with the issues properly at the start and as they arise will avoid later risk and expense. We work to reduce costs and to reduce the damage.
Where there is confusion or ambiguity of the identity of the employer the legal test requires an objective observation of the employment relationship at its outset with knowledge of all relevant communications between employer and employee.
The New Zealand Covid-19 Wage Subsidy is designed to subsidise the employer in paying wages to their employees. Breaches of the Wages Protection Act.
If a personal grievance is raised with an employer, it is important that the employer responds to the personal grievance in a well considered and strategic way.
The New Zealand employment law scene still suffers with its unlicenced employment investigators. Many untrained workplace investigators who front themselves primarily as Human Resources consultants are holding themselves out as being investigator to the employer in employment investigations where they receive valuable consideration for doing so. A recent Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority (PSPLA) decision has confirmed the restriction on this practice where the investigator does not hold a licence.
