Description
Hire Staff with Confidence using a Compliant Employment Contract
In New Zealand, it is a legal requirement to provide every employee with a written employment agreement before they start work. Failing to do so can result in automatic fines of $1,000 per employee and leaves your business wide open to Personal Grievances.
At Margate Group, we make compliance simple and affordable. We draft robust Individual Employment Agreements (IEAs) that protect your business, clearly define job expectations and include essential clauses like 90-day trial periods to validly assess new staff.
Why Choose Our Fixed-Fee Employment Contract? Don’t rely on risky free templates or expensive hourly lawyers. We offer a professional middle ground.
-
Fixed Fee: A transparent flat rate of $295 + GST. A fraction of the cost of a standard law firm.
-
Trial Period Protection: We ensure your 90-day trial period clause is drafted correctly so it is actually enforceable if things don’t work out.
-
Dispute Prevention: Clear terms regarding hours, pay, public holidays and termination reduce the risk of confusion and legal disputes later on.
What Is Included in the Service? For $295 + GST, we provide a comprehensive agreement tailored to the specific role:
-
Custom Drafting: tailored for Full-time, Part-time or Casual roles.
-
Role Specifics: Clear definitions of job duties, hours of work and place of work.
