SUMMARY:Midday Masterclass - Employment Leave & Health and Safety Updates
DESCRIPTION:Significant employment law changes are on the horizon for New Zealand employers and employees\, making now the time to understand what is changing and how to prepare.\n\n\n\nJoin Jaime Lomas\, Director and Employment Law Specialist at DTI Lawyers\, for a practical update on two major workplace reforms.\n\n\n\nThe Employment Leave Bill has now passed its third and final reading and is set to replace the Holidays Act.
