Employment Law Compliance

Employment law involves a raft of legislation and regulations. It is a diverse and ever-changing area of the law. Legislative changes, particularly in the areas of holidays and health and safety mean that employers need to continually review their agreements, policies and processes to ensure those legal requirements are met. From the prescriptive recruitment requirements of the Employment Relations Act to the reporting requirements of the Health & Safety in Employment Act, the obligations are many and varied.

Compliance with these obligations is essential, not only to avoid penalties and fines, but also to maintain productive and positive relationships with employees.

Our audit tool assesses an organisation`s compliance with employment law requirements. The tool involves more than just cross-checking legislative requirements against the organisation`s systems and documents. It enables the organisation to ensure that it is meeting best practice standards in this area.

Kiely Thompson Caisley is recognised as one of the leading law firms in the employment law field and we have unprecedented expertise in what represents best practice in this field. That expertise has been channelled into the development of this tool to ensure that you are given a clear picture of the state of your organisation`s compliance with statutory minima.

The areas covered by the compliance tool are:

A. AGREEMENTS
B. RECRUITMENT PROCESS
C.  POLICIES 
D. PERFORMANCE / SALARY REVIEWS
E. WAGES RECORDS

You will receive a detailed report, which summarises areas where your organisation is fully compliant; areas where improvements can be made; and areas that are non-compliant and require action. We will then work with you to complete any required work.
