Frequently asked questions
Questions business owners ask us
What is HR Today?
HR Today is cloud-based HR platform combined with expert HR advice, built for New Zealand businesses without an in-house HR team. It's provided by EQ Consultants in Christchurch, so you get templates, e-signing and employee records, plus a dedicated local HR expert to call when you need help.
Do small businesses in New Zealand need a written employment agreement?
Yes. Under the Employment Relations Act 2000, every employee in New Zealand must have a written employment agreement. HR Today gives you agreement templates that meet NZ employment law, ready to fill in, e-sign and store against each employee.
Can I get HR advice without hiring an HR manager?
Yes. With HR Today you get a dedicated HR expert from EQ Consultants who gets to know your business. You can ask about performance issues, restructures, leave or any people question, without the cost of a full-time HR role.
We already have an employment issue. Is it too late to get help?
No. The sooner you get advice, the more options you have. Your HR expert can help you understand where you stand, follow a fair process and keep a clear record of every step, which matters if a matter ever reaches the Employment Relations Authority.
HR Today is a smart HR platform, backed by a dedicated HR expert.
Over 20 years of New Zealand HR experience, brought together in one place.
