Your employer is entitled to terminate your employment during a 90 day trial period provided your employment agreement meets the strict requirements of the Employment Relations Act.
They do not have to give a reason, or consult with you, but notice must be given within the 90 days and you must be given at least as much notice as your Employment Agreement requires. Your employer must pay you all money owing, including your holiday pay.
The trial period must be recorded in writing in your employment agreement and signed by you and your employer before you start work.
Since 6 May 2019 trial periods can only be used by businesses that employ fewer than 20 employees. Larger businesses may use a probationary period, but this must also be agreed by both parties before the employee starts and a fair process must be used to terminate employment.
Check that your employment agreement does include a trial period and that it was signed by you both before you started work. If it wasn’t, the employer must go through a fair process and give you fair warning before they dismiss you.
If all is correct, you can’t take a personal grievance in relation to the dismissal. However, you are able to take a personal grievance claim on other grounds such as discrimination, harassment, or to recover unpaid wages.
In all other respects you should be treated the same as any other employee and have the same minimum rights as anybody else.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
