New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
Nothing in section 22 of this Act shall prevent restrictions imposed by an employer—
(a) On the employment of any person who is married to, or in a civil union or in a de facto relationship with, or who is a relative of, another employee if—
(i) There would be a reporting relationship between them; or
(ii) There is a risk of collusion between them to the detriment of the employer; or
(b) On the employment of any person who is married to, or in a civil union or in a de facto relationship with, or who is a relative of, an employee of another employer if there is a risk of collusion between them to the detriment of that person's employer.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) were amended, as from 26 April 2005, by section 7 Relationships (Statutory References) Act 2005 (2005 No 3) by substituting “in a civil union or in a de facto relationship”
for “living in a relationship in the nature of marriage”
