Dealing with an employment issue in Tauranga or the Bay of Plenty?
Employment situations never arrive at a convenient time. A dispute that's escalating. An employment agreement that needs reviewing. A dismissal process that must be handled right. Whether you're an employer trying to protect your business or an employee who feels like something has gone wrong, the stakes are high and the process matters.
Getting employment law wrong is costly — for everyone involved
For employers, a poorly handled disciplinary process or a badly drafted employment agreement can lead to personal grievances, tribunal hearings and real financial stress and reputational damage. For employees, not knowing your rights can leave you feeling powerless in situations where you absolutely shouldn't be.
At Jackson Reeves, we work with both employers & employees across Tauranga, the wider Bay of Plenty & New Zealand
We'll give you straightforward advice, help you understand your rights and obligations and make sure you're taking the right steps — from the very beginning.
How we can help
Employment Agreements
A well-drafted employment agreement protects both parties and sets clear expectations from day one. We'll prepare or review your employment agreements and make sure everything is legally compliant and fit for purpose.
Resolving Employment Disputes
Employment disputes are stressful and disruptive. We'll help you understand your options, work towards a resolution as efficiently as possible and make sure your interests are protected throughout the process.
Disciplinary & Dismissal Procedures
Following the right process when dealing with disciplinary matters or dismissal is critical. We'll guide you through each step, make sure the process is fair and legally sound and help you avoid the pitfalls that can turn a manageable situation into a costly one.
Personal Grievances
Whether you're an employer responding to a personal grievance or an employee raising one, the process can feel overwhelming. We'll give you clear, practical advice and make sure you know exactly where you stand.
Independent Contractor Agreements
The line between an employee and an independent contractor isn't always clear — and getting it wrong can have serious consequences. We'll make sure your contractor agreements are correctly structured and legally sound.
When employment matters are handled properly, everyone's better off
Agreements are clear. Processes are followed correctly. Disputes get resolved without unnecessary cost or conflict. Employers can focus on running their business. Employees know their rights are protected. And everyone moves forward.
That's what we're here for.
