AI Employment Risk Audit

The right place to start. A focused review of your current or intended AI use, mapped against your NZ employment law obligations. Fast to commission, fast to deliver, and it tells you exactly where you stand.

Most clients commission an audit before any significant AI rollout — because understanding your exposure first is significantly cheaper than managing it afterwards.

• Review of current or intended AI use across the organisation
• Identification of employment law risks — privacy, monitoring, bias, automated decision-making
• Gap analysis against NZ obligations (Employment Relations Act, Privacy Act 2020, HSWA psychosocial duties)
• 5–10 page written report with risk rating
• Prioritised action list — what to fix first and why

• Redundancy process advice and good faith compliance
• Employment agreements, policies, and HR documentation
