Is your employer worse than Al-Qaeda ?

Even Al Qaeda has employment agreements. Not only that, some of the terms are very generous: Married men receive a week’s holiday every three weeks. Employees receive a free round trip to their country of origin every year. The agreement even contains conflict resolution provisions.

There are many New Zealand employers who fail to comply with their legal obligation to provide their employees with employment agreements, who don’t understand the value of having happy and engaged employees, and who provide their employees with no effective means to resolve issues in the workplace.

If even Al Qaeda can get employment relations right, there’s no excuse.
