🎙️ Myth: “It’s illegal to record a meeting with your employer.”
✅ Fact: In NZ, you can record a meeting if you’re part of it.

You don’t need to tell the other party, though it’s often better to be open about it.

Recordings can help protect you if the process is later disputed.

Just never record private conversations you’re not part of.

📞 Call 0800 MAHI LAW (0800 624 452) or email [email protected] for guidance on handling disciplinary meetings.

🚫 “We’ve decided your role is gone — effective immediately.”

That’s unlawful. Employers must consult before deciding, allow feedback, and genuinely consider alternatives.

Skipping those steps can make the redundancy unjustified — and open the door to compensation.

📞 Call 0800 MAHI LAW (0800 624 452) or email [email protected] before signing any redundancy paperwork.

🚫 “We’ll look into it” isn’t the same as actually doing it.

When employees raise bullying or discrimination concerns, employers are legally required to investigate promptly and fairly.

Brushing it off or delaying action can make things worse — and it’s a breach of duty of care.

You have the right to a safe workplace, and silence isn’t a solution.

📞 Call 0800 MAHI LAW (0800 624 452) or email [email protected] if your concerns haven’t been taken seriously.

4️⃣ Get independent legal advice early.

5️⃣ Take action — you have options.
