Last week was a saucy week for employment law, but not that kind of saucy! It was a whirlwind of developments in New Zealand's employment law landscape. We saw the resurfacing of the leaked Cabinet papers debacle from last year. Additionally, Workplace Relations and Safety Minister, Hon. Brooke van Velden, hinted at the employment law changes on the horizon by the Coalition Government.

Join our host Sanam, as she delves into the practical implications for workers and businesses alike. The episode explores the proposed reforms touching on the Holidays Act, health and safety regulations, treatment of independent contractors and revision to the personal grievance process. Finally, Sanam discusses the Minister's plans to assess the performance of frontline services such as WorkSafe and MBIE.

With the new government, the landscape of New Zealand's employment regulations are shifting! Don't miss out on valuable insights into these evolving laws and how they could impact you.
