All about the Agreements

The Fair Pay Agreements Act, the biggest employment law change in decades, takes effect on 1 December, 2022. Fair Pay Agreements (FPAs) have the potential to fundamentally change New Zealand’s employment landscape by setting minimum terms and conditions for all employees in a particular industry or occupation. Occupations with high union representation, such as cleaners, bus drivers, and supermarket workers will likely to be quick off the mark, and we may even see bargaining being initiated before the end of 2022.

Tompkins Wake Partner Daniel Erickson talks through the upcoming changes of the new Act in our first episode on the Fair Pay Agreements Act.
