Personal grievance deadline

Calculate your 90-day deadline to raise a personal grievance, and related dates.

Private. Nothing you enter is saved or sent.

Date of dismissal, or the date the issue happened or came to your notice (whichever is later)

For dismissal, count from the end of your employment. Raise it in writing, clearly stating the grievance and the reasons.

Enter a date to see your deadline.

Dates are a guide, and it's safest to act well before the deadline. Free help: Community Law, Citizens Advice (0800 367 222), Employment NZ (0800 20 90 20).
