Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sylvie Thrush Marsh: There are many avenues to take employment disputes
Q: Do you need a contract even if you are a sole practitioner or work for a family business?
If you are employed and paid as an employee (salary or wages), you should have an employment agreement to document the relationship, even in family or sole practitioner scenarios.
Sylvie Thrush Marsh: There are many avenues to take employment disputes
Q: What are the best places to get free advice on basic contracts?
Good starting points are government resources (MBIE), Citizens Advice Bureau for general guidance, and MB for free general guidance, with paid professional services if a copy needs to be reviewed.
Sylvie Thrush Marsh: There are many avenues to take employment disputes
Q: How much of this stuff can employers do themselves and how?
Employers can use free resources and templates as a starting point, but for complex needs or to ensure compliance, they should employ HR software and possibly consult professionals to tailor agreements to their business and industry.
Nick Crawford: How do you talk to your spouse about money?
Q: How should couples begin talking about money if it feels awkward?
Start by identifying the shared goal (e.g., buying a home, funding a holiday) and then discuss the money needed to achieve it, rather than focusing on how much each person earns.
Janet Xuccoa: Managing Director for NZ Family Trust Services on what assets should be in a trust
Q: What are the practical benefits of setting up a trust if you are in a second or third relationship?
A trust can protect assets brought into the relationship and facilitate orderly distribution to children, especially when combined with an estate plan and clear memoranda, though it should be paired with a wills strategy and possible property relationship agreements to avoid gaps.
