Employment issues can be challenging—especially in high-risk industries where safety, compliance, and accountability are essential. To help business owners in the Demolition and Asbestos Industry, the NZDAA has engaged a local law firm to run an education session focused on the key HR considerations for hiring and firing staff in the demolition and asbestos sectors.

 

The webinar will offer practical insights to help make informed, compliant employment decisions. It will also address some common workplace challenges such as misconduct, absenteeism, and how to issue formal warnings effectively and lawfully.

 

What we’ll cover:

• Legal obligations when hiring and dismissing staff

• Trial periods, performance management, and redundancy processes

• Managing misconduct and absenteeism

• Best practices for issuing warnings

 

Have a specific HR issue or question?
You can submit your questions in advance when you register. We'll aim to cover as many as possible during the live session.

 

Who should attend:
Business owners or anyone involved in staffing decisions in the demolition and asbestos industries.​
