"How To" provides practical step-by-step advice on how to manage common situations faced in the workplace - covering the whole life-cycle of the employment relationship - from how to recruit, how to pay and how to discipline to how to make redundancies or handle a resignation.


How to handle the statutory recognition procedure

  • Be aware that the recognition of a union now arises in one of three ways:
    • an employer may voluntarily recognise a union to conduct collective bargaining;
    • an employer may be compelled under the provisions of the Employment Relations Act 1999 to recognise a union for collective bargaining on pay, hours and holidays;
    • the Employment Relations Act 1999 allows for a hybrid form of voluntary recognition which occurs if, following an application by a union for recognition under the Act, an employer concedes recognition prior to the union's application being determined by the Central Arbitration Committee. In this case an 'agreement for recognition' will arise which the employer cannot abandon at will.
