How we help retailers

EMPLOYMENT ISSUES

Advice on holidays and leave entitlements, performance management, investigations and disciplinary, consultation process for restructures and redundancies, and managing complaints and grievances.

BUSINESS COMPLIANCE

Our advisers can talk you through your obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act, Fair Trading Act, music licensing requirements, health and safety, and other areas to support your business with remaining compliant.

HANDY RESOURCES

Help with employment agreements, employee letters, lay-by contracts, business change, consumer issues and other business documentation with our wide range of templates.

Examples of common queries:

  • How do I treat public holidays when they fall on a weekend?
  • I want to restructure my team to reduce work hours, what process should I follow?
  • My employee is breaking our rules and policies, what steps should I take?
  • A customer is demanding a refund on a product, what are my obligations?

Our Advice Service is here to support retail business owners like you by providing practical, general guidance across employment and business matters. It is a useful check‑in point to help you understand your obligations and consider how different situations are commonly approached in practice.
