Accessing the Legislation and Other Information
The Department of Labour’s website, www.dol.govt.nz, also has a range of material including plain English guides to support employers and employees to understand their rights and obligations. The Department’s employment agreement builder is available online to assist employers and employees to develop their own draft agreements for negotiation.
You can also obtain information from the Department by contacting the Department of Labour Workplace Contact Centre on 0800 20 90 20 during business hours.
You can find copies of Acts of Parliament in most public libraries. They are also available for sale from Legislation Direct (www.legislationdirect.co.nz) or from selected bookshops.
One of the easiest ways to access free, up-to-date versions of legislation and regulations is online at www.legislation.govt.nz. This site is searchable and material can be printed.
