Document background
The 12 Weeks Notice Change Contract is a specialized employment document used in New Zealand when implementing significant changes to employment terms and conditions that require extended notice periods. This document is particularly relevant when organizations undergo structural changes, role modifications, or operational adjustments that substantially impact employment terms. It ensures compliance with New Zealand employment law, particularly the Employment Relations Act 2000, and incorporates good faith requirements for workplace changes. The document is designed to protect both employer and employee interests by providing adequate notice, consultation opportunities, and clear documentation of the proposed changes. It's commonly used during organizational restructures, changes to working conditions, or modifications to key employment terms that require careful management and extended transition periods.
