Hon Christopher Finlayson QC, Attorney-General
LEGAL ADVICE
LPA 01 01 21
Consistency with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990: Employment
Relations (Restoring Kiwis’ Right to a Break at Work) Amendment
Bill
- We
have considered whether the Employment Relations (Restoring Kiwis’ Right
to a Break at Work) Amendment Bill (‘the Bill’),
a member’s
Bill in the name of Sue Moroney MP, is consistent with the rights and freedoms
affirmed in the New Zealand Bill
of Rights Act 1990 (‘the Bill of Rights
Act’).
- The
Bill amends the Employment Relations Act 2000 to reinstate provisions that were
removed in 2014. These provisions provide specific
entitlements that an employee
has to breaks at work.
- We
have concluded that the Bill appears to be consistent with the rights and
freedoms affirmed in the Bill of Rights Act.
