Employment
At Goodman Tavendale Reid our employment law team has over 40 years combined experience and, it’s fair to say, we have pretty much seen it all. From hiring, firing and everything in between, we specialise in helping employers with all aspects of their employment law needs, no matter how big or small they are. Here’s a snippet of some of the areas we get involved in:
- Recruitment - non discriminatory advertising, fair short-listing, bullet proof interviews, pre-employment checks, references, offer letters, trial periods - we’ll hold your hand throughout!
- Legal documents, Agreements & Policies - we’ll provide you with all you need or review your existing documents including employment agreements, codes of conduct, policies on harassment and bullying, email and internet, privacy, alcohol and drugs, health and safety at work, to name just a few.
- On the spot assistance - We welcome emails and phone calls from you on all the tricky stuff, including how to handle difficult meetings, holiday entitlements, minimum wage, health and safety, parental leave, privacy issues and much, much more.
- Difficult situations - failed probationary periods, poor performance issues, misconduct, excessive sickness, restructures, redundancies, personal grievances, discrimination, bullying, harassment - the list goes on and on. Mistakes can be very costly, so getting expert advice early can avoid significant expense later.
- Court representation - if you do end up on the wrong end of a legal claim, our experienced litigators will pull out all the stops to achieve the best result for you, whether you are in mediation, the Employment Relations Authority, the Employment Court or the Court of Appeal.
