We Represent You

We handle everything: drafting, negotiating, mediation, and ERA proceedings. You focus on moving forward.

You Get Results

Our fee comes from your settlement, nothing out of your pocket. If we don't win, you don't pay. Call us to discuss how it works.

Every employment
problem, covered.

Whether you've just been dismissed or have been underpaid for years, we have the expertise to get you what you're owed.

⚖️

Personal Grievances

Been dismissed, disadvantaged, or discriminated against? A personal grievance claim is often the most powerful tool available to NZ workers. Time limits apply, so act quickly.

Wage & Pay Disputes

Unpaid wages, incorrect holiday pay, overtime not paid, or minimum wage breaches. We recover what you're owed, often with penalties on top.

Unfair Dismissal

Dismissed without a genuine reason, or without a fair chance to respond? Under the 2026 rules what counts is whether you were treated unfairly, not minor slips. We'll tell you honestly where you stand.

Redundancy & Exit Packages

Redundancy must be genuine and the process must be followed. We negotiate exit packages and challenge sham redundancies.

"I was fired without warning or a fair chance to respond"
"My employer hasn't paid me correctly for months"
"I was made redundant but it doesn't feel genuine"
"My manager has been bullying me and nothing is done"
"I feel like I was forced to resign"
"My employer broke the terms of my employment agreement"
"I've been treated differently because of my age, gender or ethnicity"
"I raised a concern at work and was punished for it"

Got questions?
We've got answers.

It means that up to and including mediation, if we don't achieve a financial settlement for you, you pay nothing. If we do win, our fee is 33.33% + GST of the settlement amount, taken from the settlement itself, not from your pocket. For cases that proceed beyond mediation to the Employment Relations Authority, a different fee structure applies, which we'll explain in full before proceeding. There are never any surprise charges.
You have 90 days from the date of dismissal or the action you're grieving to raise a personal grievance with your employer. After that, it becomes much harder to pursue. If you're unsure, contact us today. Don't wait.
Some rules changed on 21 February 2026. Employees earning over $200,000 can't usually claim unjustified dismissal, minor process slips alone no longer make a dismissal unjustified, and your own conduct can reduce what you recover. The 90-day deadline, and claims for discrimination, harassment and unpaid wages, haven't changed. Read our plain-English guide.
Employment advocates are specialists in employment law and practice. We can represent you in mediation and before the Employment Relations Authority, the same forums as lawyers, but often at far lower cost, and in our case, on a no-win no-fee basis.
Not from us. Your initial consultation is completely confidential. We only contact your employer when you're ready to proceed and have instructed us to act on your behalf.
Absolutely. Many of our clients are still in their role when they first contact us while dealing with bullying, pay issues, or a disadvantage claim. We can advise you on the best approach, including how to protect your position.
If mediation doesn't resolve your dispute, we'll provide you with an honest assessment of your prospects at the Employment Relations Authority. ERA cases involve a different fee structure: a base fee plus our standard percentage of any settlement, and the decision to proceed rests with your advocate. We'll walk you through everything clearly before any further steps or costs are involved.

Real people,
real results.

★★★★★

"Adam was incredible from start to finish. I had no idea what my rights were after being let go. Within weeks he'd negotiated a settlement I never expected. He kept me informed the whole way through and I never felt like just another case."

★★★★★

"I'd been underpaid for over a year and didn't know where to start. The whole process was explained clearly, they dealt with my employer directly, and I got back every dollar I was owed. Highly recommend to anyone in this situation."

★★★★★

"Made redundant after 8 years and the process felt completely wrong. YourRights took my case, challenged the redundancy, and secured a proper exit package. The no win no fee model meant I had nothing to lose by trying."

★★★★★

"I was being bullied at work for months and felt completely powerless. The advice I got was practical, compassionate, and effective. My employer settled quickly once YourRights got involved. Wish I'd called sooner."

★★★★★

"Called on a Friday afternoon not knowing if I even had a case. By Monday we had a plan. The whole thing was handled professionally, quickly, and the outcome exceeded what I thought was possible. Absolutely worth the call."

★★★★★

"I was nervous about taking on my employer, but they're a big company with lawyers. YourRights levelled the playing field completely. Knowledgeable, straight-talking, and genuinely on my side the whole time. Settled at mediation."
