Why calling Peninsula before you act protects your business

Many personal grievances start with a decision made too quickly, like a warning issued without a fair process, or a dismissal without the right steps. A quick compliance check with a Peninsula adviser before you act helps you get the process right the first time.

It matters for your protection too. Peninsula Mutual members need to seek and follow our advice to be eligible for claims cover, so an early call keeps your options open if a dispute follows.

Benefits: $3.3M paid to resolve claims in FY26 | 310 claims resolved | Up to $400,000 cover per claim (T&C's apply)

Got a question? We’ve got answers

Is the HR advice line really unlimited?

Yes. Calls are unlimited and untimed, and included in your fixed monthly fee, so you never pay per call or by the hour.

Can I get HR advice after hours or on weekends?

Yes. The advice line is open 24/7, every day of the year, including weekends and public holidays, so you can get help whenever an issue comes up.

Who will I speak to?

You'll speak with an NZ-based employment specialist who advises NZ employers on workplace issues every day, from routine leave questions to complex dismissals.

Is Peninsula's HR advice the same as legal advice?

Our advisers give practical employment advice based on NZ employment law, but Peninsula isn't a law firm. If a matter becomes a claim, our Claims Team can support and represent you, and Peninsula Mutual's panel law firms may be engaged where needed.

Where can I get free HR advice in New Zealand?

Employment New Zealand, run by MBIE, provides free general information on employment rights and obligations. It's a useful starting point, but it can't advise on your specific situation. Peninsula's advice line gives you hr support and guidance tailored to your business and your employees, and you can start with a free initial advice call right now.
