# Abolition of 90-Day Trial Amendment Bill 2021 The Parliament of New Zealand enacts as follows: ### 1. Title This Act is the 90-Day Trial Amendment Act 2021. ### 2. Commencement This Act comes into force on the day after the date on which it receives the Royal assent. ### 3. Purpose The purpose of this Act is to remove the 90-Day trial legislation that allows employers to dissmiss employees within 90 days if the business has less than 19 employees. ### 4. Principal Acts Amended This Act amends the Employment Relations Act 2000 (the principal Act). # Part 1 ## Employment Relations Act 2000 ### 5. Section 67A (1) Repeal section 67A ### 6. Section 67B (1) Repeal section 67B Explanatory Memorandem This bill will abolish 90 day trials where employers can choose to end the contract of an employee after 90 days if the business has less than 19 employee's. This practise is not at all useful for workers as it means they may have put 90 days already into a job, just to have their contract cancelled because a company no longer wants to employ them, and skips many of the worker protection channels that have in the past protected early career employees. #### B.X is authored by /u/model-frod (Labour) and is sponsored as a Party bill.
