For many business owners in New Zealand, figuring out if a worker is a casual, contractor, or permanent employee isn’t always easy. The rules are complex, the definitions aren’t always clear and getting it wrong can lead to serious compliance issues and costly penalties. 

Join us for a practical webinar developed specifically for small business owners and managers. We’ll cut through the confusion and give you the clarity you need to make confident, compliant decisions about your workforce.  

In just 60 minutes:   

  • Clear Up the Confusion 
    Understand the real differences between permanent, casual, and contractor roles, and how getting it wrong can cost you and your business 

  • Stay Ahead of the Curve 
    Get across the latest changes from the ERA, including sham contracting risks 

  • Entitlements 
    From leave entitlements to wages and dismissal rights, we’ll cover what each worker type is legally entitled to 

Whether you're hiring your first employee or managing a growing team, you’ll learn how to correctly classify workers, understand their entitlements, and avoid common traps like sham contracting. 

Don’t miss your chance to ask our experts questions during the Q&A, so you can come away with tailored guidance for your business.
