This essential Employer Toolkit provides supervisors, managers, and business owners in New Zealand with the crucial legal information and practical, step-by-step tools needed to correctly implement and manage 90-Day Trial Periods and Probationary Periods, minimizing the risk of unjustified dismissal claims.

What’s Inside Your Toolkit:

• Legal Clarity: A clear explanation of the differences between a 90-Day Trial Period (which prevents unjustified dismissal claims when valid) and a Probationary Period (which still requires a formal employment process prior to termination).
• Best Practices: Practical tips for managing the process, such as ensuring a new employee signs the employment agreement before they start work and providing a reasonable opportunity for independent advice (e.g., at least a week).
