Frequently asked questions
Must include employee name, work description, location, hours, wages/salary, payment method, employment type, applicable legislation, leave entitlements, notice periods, and role-specific terms.
Key differences: control, integration, financial risk. Employees work under direction/control, integrated into business, don't bear financial risk. Contractors more independent, bear own business risks.
Generally no. Employers must provide reasonable notice or pay in lieu unless serious misconduct justifies instant dismissal. Even then, must follow fair process including investigation.
Review employment agreement/policies first. Try internal processes (manager/HR). Keep detailed records. If unsuccessful, consider Employment New Zealand mediation or seek legal advice.
