STAY IN THE KNOW
Christmas Party Etiquette
As the holiday season approaches, it is time to start planning your Christmas party.
While Christmas Parties are an opportunity to celebrate and relax, it is equally important to ensure it is safe and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Ensure Your Business Stays Compliant with New Zealand’s Employment Law.
Navigating HR compliance in New Zealand can be complex, with numerous laws and regulations governing employment practices. Here are some key areas of HR compliance:
Workplace Health and Safety
We understand here at Knowhow the intricacies of HR and recognising the challenges that business owners face, particularly in areas like Health and safety liability. Now with the rise of psychosocial hazards, we acknowledge the added difficulty in navigating these issues.
COVID-19 Update - Alert Level Changes & Vaccines and Employment
Vaccine Certificates
Little information has been released about vaccination certificates and how this system will work when close contact businesses such as hairdressers and hospitality can reopen under the traffic light system.
What we do know is that businesses which are considered to be ‘high risk’ will be required to use the vaccine certificate system, and while the system will be optional for some other businesses, it will not be available for every business.
Fair Pay Agreements - what they mean for New Zealand Employers
Working its way through Parliament, bearing the innocuous title of the Fair Pay Agreements Bill is legislation set to change the way employers and employees agree terms of employment in New Zealand.
In reality it is a return to compulsory sector wide bargaining where parties who negotiate terms may have little or no connection with employers and employees who are affected.
