Cover for your business

If you’ve followed advice from our HR Advice Line and a claim arises against you, the insurance policy can respond. It covers most employment-related claims including personal grievances (including unjustifiable dismissal and unjustified disadvantage), discrimination and alleged underpayment of entitlements. The policy covers up to $2 million in any one year for damages, judgement, settlement, legal costs/expenses, defence costs and investigation costs.

No excess ever

There’s NO excess on the insurance policy and making a claim may not increase the cost of your insurance.

Legal representation

If a claim is made against you by an employee, and escalates, as part of your Citation HR package you’ll be represented by LangtonHudsonButcher – specialists in the area of workplace relations. This means that the matter will be handled between Citation HR and LHB, not transferred to an unknown third-party legal services provider.

Quick, convenient and confidential legal representation

Handling things in-house means the matter won’t be transferred to a law firm that knows nothing about you or your business. An unknown third party won’t access your confidential and commercially sensitive information. You won’t have to rehash the matter with a new advisor. With access to relevant documents, including your Citation HR Software employee records, HR Advice Line notes and call log, we can assess the matter, prepare briefs, gather evidence and take action in a fraction of the time taken by an external law firm: a matter of days to prepare everything we need, instead of weeks (or even months). And because LangtonHudsonButcher is an extension of the Citation HR team, you have a team of NZ’s leading employment lawyers who are right there with you, in touch with what’s going on. We’ll be accountable and responsible for managing the matter with you, every step of the way.
