We help employees in Thames and across the Coromandel deal with dismissal, disciplinary action, restructuring, changes to hours or duties, and other workplace disputes.
Start with the problem that best matches what has happened at work.
Employment in Thames and the Coromandel includes health and community services, local government, trades, construction, tourism, hospitality, retail and smaller businesses where reporting lines can be direct and workplace relationships personal. A dispute can escalate quickly when an informal concern becomes a warning, suspension or dismissal.
A regional employee should not be disadvantaged simply because the employer or adviser is based elsewhere. Early work — document review, drafting a response, raising a grievance and preparing for mediation — can usually be completed remotely. The emphasis is on getting the facts and chronology right before positions harden.
This is a regional starting point, not a boundary on who can contact us.
Work out the facts, documents, legal issue, deadline and realistic outcomes.
Raise the claim properly and test whether the dispute can be resolved directly.
Prepare the evidence and position for MBIE employment mediation and settlement discussions.
If resolution is not sensible, progress the claim through the ERA and, where required, the Employment Court.
The regional page is the entry point, not a separate silo. Search the wider guides, ERA decisions and Employment Court material for the issue that actually affects your case.
These are geographically or practically connected regional pages, not a generic island-wide list.
Send the basic facts through the case form. Include the important dates and the documents you already have.
