    A plain-English summary of the dispute, the likely outcome where the facts support one, how confident Reso is, and a recommended next step.

    Strengths and weaknesses

    The strengths and risks for each side, side by side, so you can see your position the way the other party and a decision-maker might.

    Strengths and risks set out separately for the employer and the employee
    Settlement range

    An indicative settlement range with a low, likely and high figure, and the reasons behind it. It is guidance to help you plan, not a quote or a prediction.

    Key issues

    The legal questions your dispute turns on, each tied to the section of the law that applies, and how strong the position is on each one.

    Time limits

    Statutory time limits checked against the dates you give, such as the 90 days to raise a personal grievance, so you can check where you stand before a deadline passes.

    What evidence would help

    The documents that would let the assessment reach a firmer view, and which side each one is likely to help, so you know what to find before the next conversation.

    Evidence that would strengthen the analysis, with each item labelled with which side it is likely to help

    From an example employment report with fictional details. Every report depends on the dispute and the information provided.

    Help with a workplace dispute

    Employment assessments are available now, for employees as well as employers. Construction disputes are in pilot, and real estate disputes are coming soon.

    Dismissal or disciplinary action

    Bring together the reasons you were given, your employment agreement, meeting notes and correspondence. The assessment looks at both the decision and the process that led to it.

    A personal grievance

    Set out what happened, when you raised concerns and how your employer responded. The report shows which legal issues are likely to matter, while recognising your account may not be the whole picture.

    Wages and holiday pay

    Pay records, timesheets and messages help explain a disagreement over unpaid wages, holiday pay or final pay.

    Your employment agreement

    Include the agreement and the details of the disagreement, and Reso considers them against curated New Zealand law.

    How it works

    How Reso works

    1. 1.

      Tell Reso what happened

      Describe the dispute and provide the relevant information and documents. You can start with your own account or choose a shared assessment.

    2. 2.

      Reso reviews the facts and issues

      The assessment considers your information against curated New Zealand legislation and case law, with references in the report.

    3. 3.

      Review the assessment

      Check the issues, uncertainties and possible next steps. Consider what needs further information or professional advice before deciding how to proceed.

    Private assessment

    Just you. You give your account and documents, and the report is based on what you provide. The other party isn't contacted.

    Shared assessment

    Both sides. The other party is invited to give their account, and each side's submission is shared with the other. You both receive the same report at the same time.

    When to get professional advice

    A report is not legal advice or a binding decision. Employment claims can have strict time limits, so don't wait for an assessment if a deadline may affect your rights.

    Speak to a lawyer or employment adviser if the matter is significant, your job is at risk or you're unsure what to do. Information you give Reso is not automatically legally privileged.
