New Zealand law requires that a written and signed employment agreement is in place between all employers and employees.  If you do not have a written employment agreement in place with any of your employees, you are breaking the law and are liable for serious fines.

Likewise, if your existing employment agreements have not been updated in the last 2 years, you will more than likely not be covered with the latest changes to employment legislation.

Court precedent shows us that if you do not have a proper employment agreement in place, the courts will most likely find in favour of an employee.
