Join Business Central and Business South for an informal discussion on the Employment Leave Act and what it means for New Zealand businesses. 
  
Speakers: 

• Tracey Torrance, MBIE Employment System Guidance and Engagement team, on implementation, next steps, and the guidance and resources being developed 
• Paul Mackay, BusinessNZ, on the current political climate and what the Act could mean depending on who wins the next election 
• James Cowan, Partner, Anderson Lloyd, on the practical and legal considerations for employers 

Rather than a formal presentation, this roundtable-style session will begin with short updates from each speaker, then open up to members for discussion and questions. 
This is a valuable opportunity for employers, business owners, managers, and HR professionals to hear directly from those involved in the work, gain clarity on practical and legal considerations, and get a candid view on the Act's political future.
