新西兰新的劳工法案将解雇要求的门槛提高到200K美元,重新界定收入,削弱对工人的保护,引发批评。 New Zealand's new labor bill raises dismissal claim threshold to $200K, redefines income, and weakens worker protections, sparking criticism.

新西兰的《就业关系修正法案》在特别委员会提出报告后得到政府的支持,提议对劳动法进行重大修改,包括将不公正解雇要求的收入门槛提高到200 000美元,并扩大收入的定义,以包括奖金和股权计划。 New Zealand’s Employment Relations Amendment Bill, backed by the government after a Select Committee report, proposes major changes to labor law, including raising the income threshold for unjust dismissal claims to $200,000 and expanding the definition of income to include bonuses and share schemes. 它完善了承包商地位的网关测试,尤其是基于平台的工作,允许企业将工人指定为非雇员,即使没有正式归类为非雇员。 It refines the gateway test for contractor status, particularly for platform-based work, and allows businesses to designate workers as non-employees even if not formally classified as such. 该法案旨在提高劳动力市场的灵活性,降低合规成本,但批评者警告说,该法案会削弱个人申诉制度,取消30天的自动工作保障,减少高收入工人的追索权,从而损害工人的保护。 The bill aims to boost labor market flexibility and reduce compliance costs, but critics warn it undermines worker protections by weakening the personal grievance system, eliminating automatic 30-day job security, and reducing recourse for high-earning workers. 政府计划于2026年初推进该法案。 The government plans to advance the bill in early 2026.
