A labour inspector can investigate any potential breaches of these minimum rights. Labour inspectors work for the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). You (or a labour inspector) can apply to the Employment Relations Authority (the “ERA”). The ERA can order your employer to pay you a monetary penalty for breaching your rights.
If there is a union at your workplace, you can also contact your union representative for support with this process.
