Abstract

The sweeping changes made to social security law following the election of the National Government in 1990 have had major repercussions on employment law. This paper examines the developing law on matters such as the 26 week 'stand down' for workers dismissed for misconduct, in the light of decisions of the Social Security Appeal Authority and the Employment Court and policy guidelines formulated by the Department of Social Welfare and the New Zealand Employment Service.
