New Zealand workers have strong legal protections. If those rights have been violated, you may be entitled to compensation — and we can help you claim it, no win, no fee.
The Employment Relations Act 2000 and other legislation give New Zealand employees strong protections in the workplace. Understanding your rights is the first step to enforcing them.
Every NZ employee has the right to be treated fairly and in good faith by their employer. This includes fair processes for discipline and dismissal, honest communication, and a workplace free from harassment and discrimination.
You are entitled to be paid at least the minimum wage, to receive your correct holiday pay, and to be paid for all hours worked. Wage theft is common and actionable — we regularly recover unpaid wages for NZ workers.
If your rights have been violated, you have the right to raise a personal grievance with your employer and to have it heard at mediation or before the Employment Relations Authority. This right exists regardless of how long you have worked for your employer.
You have the right to be represented by an advocate or lawyer in any employment dispute. You do not have to face your employer alone. We provide expert representation on a no win, no fee basis.
Most employment claims must be raised within 90 days of the dismissal or action you are grieving. After this deadline, your options become very limited. If in doubt, call us today.
