The third and final episode of our three-part employment law bitesize podcast series covering New Zealand is now available on our website. In this series, we talk with friends from overseas firms to explore and compare key issues when employing staff in their jurisdiction.

In this final episode, Senior Associate Marianne Parkinson and Associate Olivia Rhys-Evans from our Employment team speak with Senior Associate Joshua Kimpton and Senior Solicitor Bonnie Simmonds from MinterEllisonRuddWatts in Auckland to share other notable employment topics and trends for New Zealand employers, such as:

• The increase in employee grievances.
• Post-termination restrictions.
• The duty of good faith and its unique requirements around employee consultation.
• Other trends and updates such as health and safety reforms, proposed changes to the complex Holidays Act 2003, the introduction of gateway tests for determining worker status, and more.
