Human Rights Act 1993 & Equal Employment Opportunities

This Employer Guide discusses the employment issues flowing from the Human Rights Act 1993.

Personal grievance claims or complaints to the Human Rights Commission based on claims of discrimination are a fact of life for New Zealand employers. How can you avoid breaking our human rights laws?

We discuss the employment issues flowing from the Human Rights Act 1993 in this Employer Guide. It covers the ‘do’s and ‘don’ts’ of job application forms, job advertisements, victimisation and indirect discrimination. The guide also contains advice on establishing an EEO policy in your workplace to minimise the risk of discrimination against employees and potential employees. A practical and affordable way to understand how to comply with the Act, to minimise the risk of legal action and benefit from an EEO friendly workplace.
