Employment Law Advice
New Zealand employment law is detailed, changes often and carries real consequences. We give you clear, practical advice from experienced HR consultants, so you understand your obligations and options before you act.
What we advise on
We provide plain-English advice across the full employment lifecycle: hiring and trial periods, minimum entitlements, leave and the Holidays Act, flexible working requests, health and safety duties, privacy, disciplinary process, restructuring and redundancy, and termination. We keep you ahead of legislative change with updates on what is coming and what it means for your business specifically. And when a matter needs a specialist employment lawyer, we say so and connect you with the right one, briefed and ready.
Why it matters
Most employment law breaches are committed by employers who did not know they were breaching anything. Good faith obligations, procedural fairness and minimum entitlements are areas where common sense and legal reality regularly part ways. The gap between a defensible decision and an indefensible one is often a single missed step. Reliable advice at the moment of decision means you move quickly without moving recklessly, and it turns legislation from a source of anxiety into just another business input you manage well.
How it works with Hello Monday
Ask us anything, ideally before you act. We respond promptly with advice grounded in the law and in what is practical for a business your size, including a clear recommendation rather than a fence-sitting summary. We put significant advice in writing so you have a record. Through the year we send legislation updates covering changes such as minimum wage movements and amendments to the Employment Relations Act, with concrete actions for your business rather than generic commentary.
