Document background
The 90 Day Trial Employment Agreement is a specialized employment contract designed for use in New Zealand, specifically tailored for employers hiring new employees under the trial period provisions of the Employment Relations Act 2000. This agreement can only be used for new employees who have never previously been employed by the company, and must be agreed to in writing before the employment begins. The document includes comprehensive employment terms, specific trial period provisions, and ensures compliance with New Zealand employment legislation. It's particularly useful for businesses wanting to assess an employee's suitability for a role while managing their hiring risks. The agreement must be properly executed before the employee starts work to be valid, and includes clear terms about the trial period's operation and the process for termination during this period.
