Express Terms

In law, the employer has a duty to provide all legal entitlements to employees. Furthermore, the Employment Relations Act 2000 requires that all employment agreements be recorded in writing.

Therefore, to provide certainty as to exact entitlements, those responsible for recruiting employees (at all levels) must confirm at the outset of the recruitment process the relevant employment agreement that applies to the vacant position. This will ensure that the appropriate terms and conditions of employment are referred to during the recruitment process and at the time of engagement.
