Hello,
Working conditions differ across the world, and as a working expat, it is important to know your rights as an employee.
Are working conditions standard in New Zealand? For instance, are working hours, paid time off, and sick leave different for expats v.s. locals? Do they differ based on the type of company (private, public, NGO)?
Are there laws in place regarding physical conditions of the office, employee protection, etc.?
What are some resources in New Zealand to inform people about labour laws and employee rights (websites, governmental associations)?
Have the general working conditions or labour laws changed in any way lately?
How do the working conditions and labour laws in New Zealand differ from your country of origin?
Thank you for sharing your experience,
Priscilla

If potential employers were handling their employees and future employees right, it won't be frustration, if bullying/Harassing behaviour at work place was prohibited and denounced by other colleagues, people won't be frustrated at all, if people were right paid for their job it won't be frustration at all. Maybe it is there where something has to change isn't it??? 💯 💯
All employees
If you see or hear bullying, harassment or discrimination happening to someone at your workplace, you should report it. You can check with the person the behaviour was directed at, or with other people who were there if necessary, to make sure you heard or saw correctly. If you do nothing, this type of behaviour could become, or remain the culture of the workplace. It is not me invinting it see here https://www.employment.govt.nz/resolvin … l-process/ this is same in the neighbourhood, school, etc..
Employers also have a responsibility to take steps to prevent discrimination and harassment and to respond to complaints. This includes harassment by employees or clients.https://www.hrc.co.nz/your-rights/business-and-work/guidance-workers/using-your-rights/
