Employment Contracts

Contractors can add a lot of value to your business and offer flexibility in particular situations. They are also ideal if you need someone experienced and knowledgeable to oversee projects without supervision. Many businesses in New Zealand work with contractors across various industries. However, it is essential to remember that while contractors work with you, they are not your employees.
Knowing the difference between contractors and employees is crucial for business owners. Failure to do so can result in sham contracting, fines, penalties, and reputational damage. Additionally, contractors have different entitlements and duties that you need to consider. To help business owners in New Zealand, we have built this detailed free e-guide explaining the definition of a contractor, advantages of hiring one, their entitlements, and the differences between a contractor and an employee.
