Fixed-Term Contracts

Fixed term contracts are permitted in New Zealand, but require reasonable grounds. If it is later determined that there was not sufficient support for the contract to be fixed, it will be treated as though it was permanent.

Probationary Periods

New Zealand considers a “probationary period” an opportunity to assess a Worker’s skills, but does not lower the threshold for terminating a Worker. The Worker must be adequately assessed/provided an opportunity to improve and the standard termination procedure must be followed. A Worker can claim unfair dismissal.

Holidays

In addition to the 10 public holidays in New Zealand, each province’s anniversary day is also considered a holiday at the local level.
