NZ Employer Essentials: Hire the Compliant Way

Expanding your team and navigating the next stage of growth? What you don’t know could cost you.

As your business grows, so does the complexity of hiring. In New Zealand, even established employers can easily overlook key legal obligations. Not knowing employer obligations, or hiring the wrong type of worker, could expose your business to personal grievance claims, audits, or penalties.

It’s time to get back to basics and ensure you understand the legal requirements every Kiwi employer must follow. In this session, Sanam Ahmadzadeh Salmani, local Employment Counsel at Employment Hero, will walk you through the key employment law essentials for growing businesses. From identifying the right worker type, to rest and meal breaks, to good faith obligations — you’ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to hire the right way, every time.

In this free webinar, we’ll cover:

• Determining the right worker type 
• Employer responsibilities when it comes to wages, leave types, breaks and record-keeping
• Good faith obligations
• The hiring mistakes and oversights that can put your business at risk – and how to stay protected
• Live Q&A with our Employment Counsel

Whether you’re wearing the HR hat or managing a busy HR team, this session gives you the essentials to hire right and the peace of mind you deserve.
