Following our recent update on the Employment Relations (Employee Remuneration Disclosure) Amendment Bill which you can read here:
www.employers.co.nz/employment-relations-employee-remuneration-disclosure-amendment-bill-newsitem.aspx, the Bill has now passed the third reading and will become law in due course.
Get prepared with your employment agreements - you will no longer be allowed to prevent (or take any punitive action
against) staff who choose to disclose their renumeration details.
Having such a provision in an existing Employment Agreement does not invalidate the agreement, but acting on it would be unlawful.
