TRIAL PERIOD

Citizens Advice Bureau from Citizens Advice Bureau Upper Hutt

* What is a trial period?

* If I'm employed under a 90 day trial period, can my employer fire me within 90 days even if I haven’t done anything wrong?

* How much notice must I give before dismissing someone I have employed under a trial period?

* I have worked casually for my employer in the past, now they want to employ me fulltime on a trial period. Is this allowed?

* How much notice must I give if I want to leave my job (I’m part way through a trial period)?

* What’s the difference between a trial period and a probation period?

* I have been on a two-week probation period and I didn’t get paid. Can they do that?

* When I applied for a job at a café I was asked to work unpaid for an hour as part of the interview process. Is this legal?

Advice please, declined house insurance cover

Jane from Pinehaven

Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
