Employment law reform 2026: What employers need to do now (CBD)

You are invited to an in-person employment law seminar, exploring the impact of the recent changes to the Employment Relations Act 2000. Many of the changes are now in effect and significantly reshape how employers engage contractors, manage misconduct, structure senior roles, and handle personal grievances.

Join the McVeagh Fleming Employment Law team for a FREE practical seminar unpacking the changes.

Changes to personal grievance remedies, including misconduct-related limits
