One of the biggest challenges that New Zealand businesses face is keeping up with legislation. Employment law is ever-evolving, and this year will see plenty of developments that employers need to be aware of.

- Trial periods becoming available to all businesses across NZ
- The introduction of new worker exploitation legislation
- Median wage increases for work visa categories
- Changes to the Accredited Employer Work Visa around the use of trial periods
