A - 28.6 Contracts with labour hire firms

The University requires labour hire firms with which it contracts, to hold an "Employment Agents Licence" as issued by the Ministry of Fair Trading. A contract to provide labour must be established between the University and the labour hire firm. Staff members proposing that a labour hire firm be contracted must sight the labour hire firm's licence and proof of insurance coverage for items such as workers compensation and public liability.

For other than short term needs consideration should be given to employing staff for a fixed term or specified task as this will often be more cost effective in the long run.
