Today is the start of the fantastic 90 Probation Period coming into force today.
Finally employers wll be able to take a punt on an employee to see if it work out without the spectre of being harrassed for a payout from some mal-content. Employees could quit at will and now Employers can let go someone who isn’t adding value to their business in the first 90 days.
Appallingly though Trevor Mallard has upset retailers with his suggestion people should not look for jobs in firms employing fewer than 20 people, because they will just be fired before their probation is up.
Understandably this has upset employers and just shows how callous Labour are when they’d rather score a cheap political point than get on and help build the country up.
Cameron Brewer the nice guy from the Newmarket Business Association has called the comment “ridiculous and irresponsible” and says that 80 per cent of the New Zealand’s businesses are small, and they are just not in the business of hiring and firing staff for the sake of it.
Labour would be taken more seriously if they didn’t just blatently lie all the time. You would think they had learned that after their appalling “Trust” ad campaign failed so dismally a the election.
