Employment law changes and contracts do not. Templates written years ago stay in use through dozens of hires.
Working hours, overtime, leave entitlements, notice, flexible working and coverage thresholds have all moved. Non-compliance is usually discovered through a claim or an inspection rather than internally.
Employment Act Compliance Audit
An audit of your employment documentation and practice against current statutory requirements — contracts, payroll treatment, leave and hours, policies and records — with a remediation plan.
Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support
You build the business. We help you protect it.
Imagine contracts that reflect current law, payroll practice that matches statutory entitlements, and records that would survive an inspection.

Non-compliance accrues per employee, per month. The longer an outdated template stays in use, the larger the exposure it creates.

After any significant amendment to the legislation, and otherwise every few years.
Does the Employment Act apply to all our staff?
Coverage has broadened considerably. We will confirm who is covered in your workforce.
Can we update existing contracts?
