Managing employees who are injured, unwell, or on long‑term ACC is one of the highest-risk areas of employment law in New Zealand.

Dismissal on medical grounds can be lawful, but missteps in assessing capacity and following a fair process can expose employers to costly personal grievances and discrimination claims.
