Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 July 2025, amend the Employment Court Regulations 2000. These regulations increase the fees relating to proceedings in the Employment Court by 3.65%. The fees are exclusive of goods and services tax.
The increase is an inflation adjustment, which is based on a weighted average of the Labour Cost Index and the Producers Price Index. The new fees have been calculated so that, once goods and services tax is added to them, the fees are rounded to the nearest dollar.
Date of notification in Gazette: 22 May 2025.
These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment.
