From 6 May 2019, only an employer with 19 or fewer employees (at the beginning of the day on which the employment agreement is entered into) may employ a new employee on a trial period for the first 90 calendar days of their employment. An employee can’t be on a trial period if they’ve worked for that employer before.
A valid trial period must be agreed to in the employment agreement before the employee starts work, or the trial period is invalid, and it must have a valid notice period in the employment contract.
For other conditions, please refer to Employment New Zealand.
