EMPLOYMENT LEGAL ADVICE
Who to Call When You Need Employment Legal Advice for Your Business
Sometimes, employment legal advice is difficult to come by for owner/operators, small businesses, or even medium-sized ventures. Lawyers are expensive, and those who focus on employment law are no exception. At PB Employment Law, we offer a different type of service. We are employment advocates. We know a great deal about employment legislation in New Zealand and regularly work with employers to help them understand this legal infrastructure to make informed decisions.
Problems Our Employment Law Specialist Can Help Address
What are employers typically looking for when they call for employment law advice in New Zealand? Here are a few common issues that our employment law specialist can help employers resolve:
Advice on how to terminate an employee. Firing employees, while sometimes a necessary step, is nobody’s favourite thing to do. It can also be a legal quagmire, depending on how the dismissal is executed. We can advise employers on whether they have reasonable grounds to fire someone and how to carry out the process fairly and legally.
Guidance on unfair dismissal lawsuits. Roughly half our work with employers deals with situations where they have let someone go and are now being sued for unfair dismissal. We can assist clients with their cases in these situations and help them adapt their termination policies to avoid similar future problems.
Assistance in devising health and safety policies. As an employer, you have a responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment for your staff. We can work with you to devise, implement, or update your health and safety policy so that it incorporates crucial categories such as sexual harassment, drug and alcohol use, and more.
What Sets PB Employment Law Apart Regarding Employment Legal Advice?
Suppose you are seeking employment legal advice in New Zealand. In that case, you are probably wondering what sets PB Employment Law apart from, say, a major law firm that specialises in employment law. Here are a few of our key differentiators:
You work directly with the owner. Instead of having your case passed between a dozen different lawyers and paralegals, you will always work directly with our owner, Paul Brown. This factor brings confidence and peace of mind for many of our clients.
You enjoy a friendly experience. Lawyers have a (sometimes unearned) reputation for being cold, aggressive, and driven by money more than client interests. We can’t comment on how true this stereotype is for other firms or businesses that focus on employment law, but we can promise that you will have a friendly, authentic experience working with Paul on your matter.
You get an employment law centric perspective. Most law firms and most legal advisory companies like ours work in a wide range of legal matters. Our unerring focus on employment legislation in New Zealand and employment law matters makes us a reliable choice for clients who are looking specifically for help with unfair dismissals, redundancy, employee drug testing, or holiday pay.
