EMPLOYMENT LAW UPDATES IN NEW ZEALAND
BY: BERNARD BANKS, KIELY THOMPSON CAISLEY

Introduction

In the past year or so, there have been a number of significant developments in employment law. These have been both as a result of legislative changes coming into force, and also judicial decisions which have emerged and which illustrate the effect of earlier legislative changes.

This paper provides an outline of many of those changes and the intent is to do so in a practical way. That is, the focus will mainly be on the practical effects of these law changes with a lesser emphasis on the legal detail and reasoning behind those effects.


The paper also attempts to look into the future and provide a brief comment on proposed and possible legislative changes.

The structure of this paper is to address the following topics. There are no doubt other topics which would merit discussion in this context, and it has been necessary to be selective.
