Revised Employment Contract

"I need a Revised Employment Contract for a software developer being promoted to team lead in our Auckland office, with a salary increase from $95,000 to $120,000 NZD, effective March 1, 2025."

Document background
The Revised Employment Contract is utilized when there's a need to update or modify existing employment terms while ensuring continued compliance with New Zealand employment law. This document becomes necessary when substantial changes occur in the employment relationship, such as role changes, remuneration adjustments, or updates to reflect new legislative requirements. It incorporates all elements required by the Employment Relations Act 2000 and other relevant New Zealand legislation, while capturing agreed modifications to the original terms. The contract serves as a fresh foundation for the ongoing employment relationship, documenting both unchanged terms from the original agreement and newly negotiated conditions. This revision process ensures transparency and mutual understanding between parties while maintaining legal compliance.
