EMPLOYMENT LAW
Understanding and complying with your obligations as an employer is imperative to the long-term growth and stability of your organisation. Employment disputes can be expensive, disruptive, and damaging to staff morale. For the employee, they can be stressful and humiliating if not handled adequately.
Health And Safety In Employment Law
The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 reformed health and safety requirements in all New Zealand workplaces. These changes mean that there is now more responsibility on employers to ensure their workplace is safe by foreseeing and managing future risks.
The team at Dixon & Co are committed to helping organisations create safer, healthier workplaces through legislative compliance, training, and development. Our health and safety lawyers work with a variety of clients across all industry sectors to ensure they meet their Health and Safety obligations. Some of the issues clients are facing currently are due to a lack of knowledge or awareness of these changes.
We understand the complexities in this area of law and can provide information packages and legal advice to employers and employees. We can support you with expert advice on the health and safety obligations of a company, their board and senior management, with respect to the effect of proposed changes to the health and safety legislation.
We can offer specialist assistance to employers in handling WorkSafe NZ investigations as well as advise you on terms and conditions for health and safety compliance in employment agreements and other contracts. We can also advise on policies and internal issues in the workplace including impairment due to drugs, alcohol, stress, and bullying.
If you would like further information on pricing, upcoming seminars, and the services we provide in this area, or have a specific issue you need advice on, get in touch today.
