Advice & Compliance

Restructuring and Redundancy

Sometimes your business needs to change and evolve.  The law allows you to do this, but it is important that you get the right advice at the outset.   

Consultation is key. 

We can step you through a process, draft letters or proposals to staff, and will reality-check your plans.

If you are an employee we can help you to understand your rights in a restructuring, represent you in meetings or help you with providing feedback or asking questions as part of a consultation process.

Disciplinary Meetings

For employers, we provide advice on the process to follow in conducting disciplinary investigations and meetings and make sure the boxes are ticked. 

We can be the sounding board for your decisions and help you work through alternatives.      

For Employees, we can attend meetings with you to help put your best foot forward to respond to whatever challenging issues you are facing at work.

Holidays and Leave

The Holidays Act 2003 sets out the minimum entitlements for employees and applies to all staff.  At times, navigating the Holidays Act 2003 requires specialist attention.

We can help you understand the rules for annual leave, public holidays, sick leave, family violence leave and record keeping.
