Employment Relations Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill amends the Employment Relations Act 2000 to provide greater certainty for contracting parties, strengthen the consideration of and accountability for the employee's behaviour in the personal grievance process, introduce a threshold for unjustified dismissal personal grievances, and remove the "30-day rule"
