What are your employment rights after a natural disaster?

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

The first step you should take as an employee is to make sure you are safe. In the event of a natural disaster, the health and safety of people should be a priority above the well-being of businesses and organisations.

In the event of a natural disaster, the health and safety of people should be a priority above the well-being of businesses and organisations.

If you think it is unsafe to work because of health and safety issues, you have the right to refuse work and let your employer know. Your employer may give you alternative work or ask you to work at a different location - such as working from home for example.

You can check your employment agreement or workplace policy for information about not being able to work due to a natural disaster or emergency. If neither of these documents cover this, you should discuss it with your employer. If you are treated unfairly or cannot reach an agreement with your employer following a natural disaster - you can discuss the matter with your union representative, start a dispute resolution process or contact WorkSafe for help.
