Frequently asked questions
Is there statutory redundancy pay in New Zealand?
No. There is no legal minimum. A redundancy clause in your agreement or company policy is binding, but without one no compensation is owed.
What am I owed on redundancy regardless?
Notice — the period in your agreement or reasonable notice if none is specified — plus accrued leave and any other earned amounts.
How long do I have to raise a personal grievance?
Ninety days from when the action occurred or came to your notice, whichever is later. Sexual harassment grievances have 12 months.
What makes a redundancy genuine?
A real business reason. Section 103A asks objectively whether a reasonable employer would have made the same decision. The role must disappear, not you.
What makes a trial period invalid?
Starting work before signing the agreement. If you do, the trial is invalid and you have full dismissal protections from day one.
Is a written employment agreement required?
Yes, under Sections 64 and 65 of the Employment Relations Act 2000, for every employee.
When is my final pay due?
On or before the pay day for the final pay period, broken down by component — notice, leave and any redundancy separately.
Can high earners raise personal grievances?
Under the Employment Relations Amendment Act 2026, employees earning at or above NZ$200,000 may not pursue grievances for unjustified dismissal or disadvantage.
Where can I get free advice?
Employment New Zealand on 0800 20 90 20, and Community Law Centres.
Is Saplic free to use?
Yes. Creating your profile, searching for jobs and applying costs nothing, now or later. There is no app to install either.
