My work was all remote 27 00:01:21,893 --> 00:01:24,932 Speaker 4: then I joined my current firm. When I joined my 28 00:01:24,973 --> 00:01:27,253 Speaker 4: current firm, they now want us back in the office 29 00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:29,372 Speaker 4: two of five days every week, and to make up 30 00:01:29,413 --> 00:01:32,333 Speaker 4: those office days even when we take leave. I would 31 00:01:32,333 --> 00:01:34,932 Speaker 4: like to request a change to my working arrangements to 32 00:01:34,973 --> 00:01:39,533 Speaker 4: the prior status quo as per Employment Relations Act two thousand, 33 00:01:39,652 --> 00:01:43,693 Speaker 4: Parts six AA flexible working, And don't think they can 34 00:01:43,813 --> 00:01:49,213 Speaker 4: point to any exemption as per six nine AAF the legislation. 35 00:01:50,213 --> 00:01:52,693 Speaker 4: Can they sanction me for asking for this variation? 36 00:01:52,933 --> 00:01:53,172 Speaker 3: Eg? 37 00:01:53,573 --> 00:01:56,653 Speaker 4: Refuse bonus payments, etc. Thanks? 38 00:01:56,813 --> 00:01:57,053 Speaker 5: Boy? 39 00:01:57,733 --> 00:02:01,973 Speaker 3: There's so much in that one, isn't there? I guess 40 00:02:02,533 --> 00:02:08,053 Speaker 3: summarizing a lot of businesses went fully remote during COVID, 41 00:02:08,813 --> 00:02:12,173 Speaker 3: and now they've seen that that comes with a whole 42 00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:15,093 Speaker 3: lot of downsides and there's a lot of pressure for 43 00:02:15,133 --> 00:02:18,733 Speaker 3: people to return to the office. You don't have to 44 00:02:18,733 --> 00:02:21,813 Speaker 3: be a genius to work out that if everybody's working 45 00:02:21,853 --> 00:02:25,933 Speaker 3: from home, it's so much more difficult to train junior staff. 46 00:02:26,093 --> 00:02:31,412 Speaker 3: Mental people include people on meetings and discussions and often 47 00:02:31,453 --> 00:02:33,972 Speaker 3: say you learn a lot through osmosis listening and what 48 00:02:34,013 --> 00:02:36,493 Speaker 3: the person next to you is saying on the phone. 49 00:02:37,453 --> 00:02:38,973 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of pressure for people to go 50 00:02:39,053 --> 00:02:43,733 Speaker 3: back to the office. Very difficult to answer the coolest 51 00:02:43,813 --> 00:02:49,573 Speaker 3: questions because it is so fact dependent. Now, if you 52 00:02:50,413 --> 00:02:52,813 Speaker 3: got the job and it's said that your work would 53 00:02:52,853 --> 00:02:56,093 Speaker 3: be remote, the employer would have to consult with you 54 00:02:56,213 --> 00:02:59,133 Speaker 3: and essentially do a restructure before they could force you 55 00:02:59,173 --> 00:03:04,013 Speaker 3: back to the office. You know, as I've said for 56 00:03:04,093 --> 00:03:07,173 Speaker 3: years and years on the show, that you need to 57 00:03:07,173 --> 00:03:09,813 Speaker 3: be very careful in such ways like this, because yes, 58 00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:13,013 Speaker 3: you may have legal options open to you, but do 59 00:03:13,053 --> 00:03:15,333 Speaker 3: you want to be the nail that sticks up because 60 00:03:15,373 --> 00:03:16,813 Speaker 3: you might get smacked down? 61 00:03:18,773 --> 00:03:19,493 Speaker 2: Good analogy. 62 00:03:19,972 --> 00:03:23,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, if you're really difficult when times are tough, 63 00:03:24,853 --> 00:03:26,613 Speaker 3: you might be the first one out the door when 64 00:03:26,613 --> 00:03:30,973 Speaker 3: there's a restructure. So I think there's a fine line 65 00:03:30,972 --> 00:03:33,413 Speaker 3: to be walked here. Yes, definitely you can ask for 66 00:03:33,493 --> 00:03:36,973 Speaker 3: flexible working arrangements. Your employer has to consider that in 67 00:03:37,013 --> 00:03:39,293 Speaker 3: good faith, but they don't have to agree. 68 00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:43,653 Speaker 4: Okay, we're talking to employment lawa of Gareth abdan Or 69 00:03:43,773 --> 00:03:50,253 Speaker 4: from Admoral Law. John, You've got a question for Gareth John. 70 00:03:52,093 --> 00:03:55,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hello, Yeah, now you're on with Gareth. John, what's 71 00:03:55,733 --> 00:03:56,173 Speaker 2: your question. 72 00:03:58,413 --> 00:04:00,773 Speaker 6: We've recently been taken over by another company. In it 73 00:04:01,013 --> 00:04:04,973 Speaker 6: the new company has taken us on your old terms 74 00:04:05,013 --> 00:04:07,573 Speaker 6: and individual agreements. 75 00:04:07,973 --> 00:04:08,253 Speaker 3: Yep. 76 00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:13,693 Speaker 6: This issue coming out is that based on a salary 77 00:04:13,733 --> 00:04:18,333 Speaker 6: for forty hours a week and any time anyhow overtime 78 00:04:18,453 --> 00:04:21,613 Speaker 6: work over and above it was taken off as pay 79 00:04:22,893 --> 00:04:28,213 Speaker 6: paid leave right. But in our individual agreement it says 80 00:04:28,253 --> 00:04:33,533 Speaker 6: that there'll be no overtime paid over and above forty hours. 81 00:04:34,493 --> 00:04:40,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's not not an unusual situation. John. You 82 00:04:40,653 --> 00:04:45,373 Speaker 3: may have an argument here that the arrangement with your 83 00:04:45,373 --> 00:04:50,093 Speaker 3: previous employer became part of your employment agreement. But I 84 00:04:50,093 --> 00:04:53,933 Speaker 3: think where there's a new employer, what's in the contract 85 00:04:54,053 --> 00:04:57,933 Speaker 3: is likely to be what's what they're going to stick to. 86 00:04:58,693 --> 00:05:01,613 Speaker 3: So you can give it a go. But I wouldn't 87 00:05:01,653 --> 00:05:05,653 Speaker 3: be I wouldn't be digging my heels in too much 88 00:05:05,693 --> 00:05:06,253 Speaker 3: on that one. 89 00:05:07,533 --> 00:05:10,813 Speaker 2: Hopefully that John, Thanks very much for your phone call, 90 00:05:10,853 --> 00:05:13,213 Speaker 2: So just on there, Gareth. So, if you're part of 91 00:05:13,213 --> 00:05:16,453 Speaker 2: a company and it gets sold to a new buyer, 92 00:05:16,613 --> 00:05:20,453 Speaker 2: new owner, do your contracts still remain in place or 93 00:05:20,453 --> 00:05:23,613 Speaker 2: at that point do you start with new contracts. 94 00:05:23,933 --> 00:05:27,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, it really depends on whether it's a sheer purchase 95 00:05:27,933 --> 00:05:31,893 Speaker 3: or a purchase of the assets of the business. What 96 00:05:32,053 --> 00:05:35,813 Speaker 3: normally happens is there's a new employment agreement with the 97 00:05:35,893 --> 00:05:39,093 Speaker 3: name of the new employer, and often there slight changes 98 00:05:39,133 --> 00:05:42,093 Speaker 3: to the terms of employment, so there might be changes 99 00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:45,533 Speaker 3: to benefits, and often there changes to things like this 100 00:05:45,773 --> 00:05:49,333 Speaker 3: the hours of work. You know, as I said before, 101 00:05:49,453 --> 00:05:53,533 Speaker 3: times are tight, and I think if you're on a 102 00:05:53,573 --> 00:05:57,053 Speaker 3: salary that kind of comes with the arrangement that sometimes 103 00:05:57,093 --> 00:05:58,933 Speaker 3: you're going to have to work over your forty hours. 104 00:05:59,053 --> 00:05:59,333 Speaker 5: Yeah. 105 00:05:59,373 --> 00:06:03,013 Speaker 2: Interesting. We're joined by Gareth Abden or Director of Abden 106 00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:07,333 Speaker 2: or Employment Law, taking your questions about any issues you're 107 00:06:07,373 --> 00:06:09,493 Speaker 2: having at work or if you run the company, any 108 00:06:09,533 --> 00:06:12,213 Speaker 2: issues that you've got with your employees. Plenty of techs 109 00:06:12,213 --> 00:06:14,293 Speaker 2: coming through Gareth yees. 110 00:06:14,453 --> 00:06:17,373 Speaker 4: So here goes one. We went out with the new boss. 111 00:06:17,413 --> 00:06:24,413 Speaker 4: He paid for the first two rounds. Yes, he called 112 00:06:24,453 --> 00:06:27,653 Speaker 4: it a get to know me post work meeting that 113 00:06:27,693 --> 00:06:31,613 Speaker 4: we had to attend. After two we started paying for ourselves. 114 00:06:32,133 --> 00:06:36,053 Speaker 4: Things took off, a glass got broken. He comes back 115 00:06:36,093 --> 00:06:39,573 Speaker 4: over from his mates and tells us we all got 116 00:06:39,573 --> 00:06:42,773 Speaker 4: to go home. Saying, because he paid for the first beers, 117 00:06:42,933 --> 00:06:46,333 Speaker 4: he is responsible for us. We told him to If 118 00:06:46,373 --> 00:06:49,933 Speaker 4: off he's still angry, can your boss kick you out 119 00:06:49,933 --> 00:06:51,973 Speaker 4: of a pub? Aren't we in charge of our own 120 00:06:52,013 --> 00:06:55,813 Speaker 4: lives after we're off site. This seems a lot behind. 121 00:06:55,693 --> 00:06:57,133 Speaker 2: That great text. 122 00:06:57,453 --> 00:07:00,533 Speaker 3: Oh man, I don't even know where to start with 123 00:07:00,573 --> 00:07:05,693 Speaker 3: this one. I guess the first thing is, yeah, maybe 124 00:07:05,733 --> 00:07:09,333 Speaker 3: don't tell your boss to ef that it's career limiting. 125 00:07:09,413 --> 00:07:14,573 Speaker 3: Good advice. I think that's the advice of the day. 126 00:07:15,013 --> 00:07:18,893 Speaker 3: It's really tricky these days, and I don't think it 127 00:07:18,933 --> 00:07:20,973 Speaker 3: was a great idea for the boss to take people 128 00:07:21,013 --> 00:07:25,853 Speaker 3: out to a pub if there weren't clear expectations in 129 00:07:25,893 --> 00:07:33,173 Speaker 3: the beginning. These days, employees aren't treated like adults often, 130 00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:37,573 Speaker 3: and employers aren't allowed to do the sort of things 131 00:07:37,653 --> 00:07:40,293 Speaker 3: that they used to be allowed to do, And so 132 00:07:40,693 --> 00:07:46,213 Speaker 3: we see a lot of Christmas parties being canceled parties, 133 00:07:47,173 --> 00:07:50,293 Speaker 3: if you can call it that, with no alcohol. So 134 00:07:51,173 --> 00:07:55,253 Speaker 3: this situation is a recipe for disaster. I think these 135 00:07:55,293 --> 00:08:00,573 Speaker 3: employees should be quite lucky that they're not facing disciplinary action, 136 00:08:02,013 --> 00:08:04,413 Speaker 3: and I think everybody should just chalk it up to 137 00:08:05,093 --> 00:08:07,213 Speaker 3: a bad idea and try and forget about it. 138 00:08:07,573 --> 00:08:10,253 Speaker 4: So if you're in a location so you've been out 139 00:08:10,253 --> 00:08:14,093 Speaker 4: with the boss though, and the party initially starts there, 140 00:08:14,373 --> 00:08:17,733 Speaker 4: and if the boss clearly goes it's over. Now those 141 00:08:17,773 --> 00:08:20,253 Speaker 4: few two bears and it sounds like he's over at 142 00:08:20,253 --> 00:08:22,373 Speaker 4: another table because he says he came over from his 143 00:08:22,413 --> 00:08:24,653 Speaker 4: other mates, so I'm not sure if he did this, 144 00:08:25,213 --> 00:08:27,253 Speaker 4: But he goes, that's over. That was the drink, that 145 00:08:27,333 --> 00:08:30,253 Speaker 4: was the get together we wanted to have. I'm not 146 00:08:30,293 --> 00:08:33,133 Speaker 4: paying for any more drinks. He goes over to another table. 147 00:08:33,893 --> 00:08:37,813 Speaker 4: His employees still his responsibility at that point, or has 148 00:08:37,852 --> 00:08:41,333 Speaker 4: he shut down the function even though they're both still 149 00:08:41,372 --> 00:08:42,532 Speaker 4: in the same establishment. 150 00:08:43,053 --> 00:08:47,612 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the risk is that there's a reasonably 151 00:08:47,693 --> 00:08:52,213 Speaker 3: high risk that if anything goes wrong, the venue will 152 00:08:52,372 --> 00:08:56,612 Speaker 3: blame it on the company, and the employees could claim 153 00:08:56,933 --> 00:08:59,852 Speaker 3: that it was still a work event. It started as 154 00:08:59,892 --> 00:09:03,652 Speaker 3: a work event. Alcohol was provided. You know, best practice 155 00:09:03,653 --> 00:09:06,493 Speaker 3: in a situation like this would be to say we're 156 00:09:06,492 --> 00:09:08,573 Speaker 3: going to go out, we're going to have a couple 157 00:09:08,612 --> 00:09:12,013 Speaker 3: of drinks, and then everybody leaves. Then if you go 158 00:09:12,053 --> 00:09:16,173 Speaker 3: to a different venue without your boss, I think everybody's 159 00:09:16,213 --> 00:09:19,333 Speaker 3: on much safer territory. But the fact that stayed in 160 00:09:19,372 --> 00:09:24,093 Speaker 3: the same pub. Yeah all round. 161 00:09:24,173 --> 00:09:28,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't tell your boss to number one. 162 00:09:27,773 --> 00:09:30,173 Speaker 4: I like it says we told the boss. 163 00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:33,692 Speaker 3: It sounds like there was an insurrection. 164 00:09:35,173 --> 00:09:38,252 Speaker 4: Siah. You've got a question for Gareth, right. 165 00:09:38,813 --> 00:09:38,973 Speaker 1: Yeah. 166 00:09:39,012 --> 00:09:44,413 Speaker 5: I work in sales and quite any specialty, and I 167 00:09:44,413 --> 00:09:47,732 Speaker 5: believe I've got quite an intense restraint of trade in 168 00:09:47,732 --> 00:09:50,893 Speaker 5: my contract so that they can stop me working for 169 00:09:50,933 --> 00:09:53,533 Speaker 5: a competitor for twelve months. How unenforceable is that in 170 00:09:53,573 --> 00:09:54,132 Speaker 5: New Zealand. 171 00:09:54,573 --> 00:10:01,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a fantastic question, Sarah. There's this idea out 172 00:10:01,093 --> 00:10:06,453 Speaker 3: there that restraints aren't enforceable and that's not correct. And 173 00:10:06,492 --> 00:10:10,693 Speaker 3: then there are some pretty owner restraints in employment agreements 174 00:10:11,933 --> 00:10:16,213 Speaker 3: that clearly go too far. So the test that the 175 00:10:16,252 --> 00:10:19,493 Speaker 3: court will look at is it reasonable and is it 176 00:10:19,612 --> 00:10:25,173 Speaker 3: necessary to protect a legitimate interest that your employer has. 177 00:10:26,173 --> 00:10:31,133 Speaker 3: If you're in a niche role and you've got relationships 178 00:10:31,132 --> 00:10:35,053 Speaker 3: with suppliers, relationships with customers, and it would take a 179 00:10:35,093 --> 00:10:38,773 Speaker 3: long time for them to protect those and you could 180 00:10:38,773 --> 00:10:43,053 Speaker 3: take advantage of them, potentially that restraint could be enforceable, 181 00:10:43,413 --> 00:10:47,573 Speaker 3: but it really comes down to the particular circumstances of 182 00:10:47,653 --> 00:10:52,973 Speaker 3: each case. Twelve months is definitely at the upper end 183 00:10:53,053 --> 00:10:57,652 Speaker 3: of what would be considered reasonable. Generally, three months is reasonable, 184 00:10:58,053 --> 00:11:00,772 Speaker 3: six months is starting to get up there, and twelve 185 00:11:00,813 --> 00:11:03,813 Speaker 3: months is at the extreme end. But there are cases 186 00:11:03,852 --> 00:11:06,252 Speaker 3: where twelve months has been found to be reasonable. 187 00:11:08,892 --> 00:11:11,573 Speaker 2: Take care, thanks Sarah. Just on that twelve months, I mean, 188 00:11:11,573 --> 00:11:14,933 Speaker 2: would there is there sometimes a caveat or part of 189 00:11:14,933 --> 00:11:17,053 Speaker 2: that deal that they pay you out something so that 190 00:11:17,132 --> 00:11:19,132 Speaker 2: at least you can survive for that twelve months. 191 00:11:20,053 --> 00:11:25,973 Speaker 3: And often those extended restraints only apply to people on 192 00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:33,013 Speaker 3: relatively good incomes. As I say, twelve months is quite extreme, 193 00:11:34,293 --> 00:11:39,772 Speaker 3: and that can't prevent you from working full stop. It 194 00:11:39,813 --> 00:11:42,532 Speaker 3: will just prevent you from working in a way that 195 00:11:42,612 --> 00:11:46,333 Speaker 3: would be unfairly competing with your previous employer. 196 00:11:46,533 --> 00:11:47,973 Speaker 4: What can the previous employer do? 197 00:11:48,612 --> 00:11:52,013 Speaker 3: Though they can file proceedings, they can seek an injunction, 198 00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:57,132 Speaker 3: so the court could actually issue an injunction preventing you 199 00:11:57,213 --> 00:11:59,932 Speaker 3: from from doing whatever it is that's in breach of 200 00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:06,133 Speaker 3: the restraint. Generally, these things are resolved before that point 201 00:12:06,252 --> 00:12:09,413 Speaker 3: because once it goes to court, everybody lose. Accept the lawyers. 202 00:12:11,413 --> 00:12:13,093 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, interesting. 203 00:12:13,173 --> 00:12:15,052 Speaker 3: You know, with a restraint like that, I think it's 204 00:12:15,053 --> 00:12:18,573 Speaker 3: a very good idea to get some legal advice, so 205 00:12:18,612 --> 00:12:19,493 Speaker 3: you know where you stand. 206 00:12:19,693 --> 00:12:22,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, great stuff. Good afternoon. We're joined by Gareth Abdenor, 207 00:12:22,693 --> 00:12:25,453 Speaker 2: who is the founder and director of Abdenor Law. You 208 00:12:25,492 --> 00:12:28,213 Speaker 2: can check him out Abdenorlaw dot z. He's brilliant and 209 00:12:28,252 --> 00:12:30,973 Speaker 2: he's taken your questions. Josh, good afternoon. 210 00:12:32,213 --> 00:12:35,973 Speaker 7: Yeah, hey guys, heye, Gareth. My question is I resigned 211 00:12:36,012 --> 00:12:41,532 Speaker 7: from a position late last year and what I did 212 00:12:41,653 --> 00:12:46,093 Speaker 7: after I left, I went to make contact with previous 213 00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:53,133 Speaker 7: managers that I worked under, and so from working with 214 00:12:53,293 --> 00:12:56,252 Speaker 7: them previously, I asked if it would be okay if 215 00:12:56,293 --> 00:12:59,333 Speaker 7: I use them for future for a future reference will work. 216 00:13:00,173 --> 00:13:05,813 Speaker 7: At that point they said, yeah, that's that's fine. When 217 00:13:05,852 --> 00:13:10,333 Speaker 7: I actually resigned, I had a new area manager come 218 00:13:10,413 --> 00:13:13,053 Speaker 7: in and that was one of the reasons why I 219 00:13:13,093 --> 00:13:16,813 Speaker 7: thought I'm out of here. I'm just I'm going and 220 00:13:18,173 --> 00:13:23,852 Speaker 7: this particular person who only just gained that position, this 221 00:13:23,973 --> 00:13:27,893 Speaker 7: person's actually gone to these people who I used to 222 00:13:27,973 --> 00:13:31,612 Speaker 7: work for, and it has asked them not to supply 223 00:13:31,852 --> 00:13:32,852 Speaker 7: any references. 224 00:13:32,973 --> 00:13:34,973 Speaker 2: It's a big one. And sorry, Josh, we're almost running 225 00:13:34,973 --> 00:13:36,813 Speaker 2: out of time. But Gareth, can they do that? 226 00:13:38,132 --> 00:13:42,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, they most probably can. An employer is under no 227 00:13:42,933 --> 00:13:47,173 Speaker 3: legal obligation to provide you with a reference. They do 228 00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:49,933 Speaker 3: need to confirm that you work there, but they don't 229 00:13:49,933 --> 00:13:52,373 Speaker 3: have to provide you with a reference. And a lot 230 00:13:52,413 --> 00:13:55,893 Speaker 3: of businesses have a policy not to provide references and 231 00:13:56,053 --> 00:14:00,173 Speaker 3: only to provide certificates of service. So yep, potentially they 232 00:14:00,213 --> 00:14:01,293 Speaker 3: could they could do this. 233 00:14:01,892 --> 00:14:05,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, very good, Gareth, great to catch up again.
