Status – employees, contractors and everything in between and around the edges is our fourth session of The Employment Law Lens series by HRNZ & Morrison Kent.
This seminar is an opportunity to share knowledge with HR professionals, employers, and those working in this shared space on the “status” argument (i.e. workers claiming they are employees, not contractors/volunteers, despite what the contract says) and the cross over of different categories of employees.
Morrison Kent’s employment law team will focus on topics from an employment law perspective, including:
- A refresher on the types of employees and how to correctly determine the type of employment agreement to use for new recruits
- Legal tests to differentiate between employees and contractors
- How to identify when the lines are blurred between different categories of workers (including different categories of employees) and the associated legal risks and potential remedies
- How to mitigate risk and ensure employers put the right steps in place to reflect the intended relationship.
You will walk away with a greater understanding of where lines can be blurred, how to avoid that from happening, and potential implications if your organisation slips up.
