The Employment Relations Act (2000), Equal Pay Act (1972) and the Human Rights Act (1993) are three key pieces of legislation that ensure workplaces in New Zealand are environments of equality.
Discrimination
Under the Human Rights Act (1993), an employer cannot discriminate during the process of hiring or firing, training or promoting on the basis of an employee's colour, race, ethnic or national origins, sex (including pregnancy or childbirth status), marital or family status, age, disability, religious or ethical belief, political opinion, employment status or sexual orientation.
Equal Treatment & Pay
The Employment Relations Act (2000) ensures equal treatment of workers regardless of union membership. The Equal Pay Act (1972) ensures equal pay for men and women where they do equal work.
