Union & Non-Union Talent Management
Expert management of union and non-union talent agreements and coordination.
Talent management in New Zealand navigates the regulations governing performers under the Employment Relations Act 2000 and entertainment industry guidelines. This involves understanding NZ Actors' Equity requirements, the distinction between employee and contractor status (clarified after the Hobbit Law reforms), working conditions, and KiwiSaver contributions, particularly important for the international productions attracted to New Zealand's landscapes and tax incentives.
We provide guidance on talent management by working with NZ Actors' Equity and New Zealand entertainment industry representatives. Our team helps your production navigate collective agreements, rate structures, and compliance requirements specific to New Zealand, ensuring all talent engagements meet applicable Employment Relations Act terms and industry standards.
