New Zealand law explained for everyone

165: Other provisions relating to investigations of Authority
or “Rules about how the Authority looks into work problems”

You could also call this:

“The Employment Relations Authority is made up of a Chief and at least two other members, and one member handles each case.”

The Employment Relations Authority is made up of members. There must be at least three members in total. One of these members is chosen to be the Chief of the Employment Relations Authority. The other two or more members don’t have a special title.

When the Authority looks at a case, only one member works on it. This means that even though there are several members in the Authority, just one person handles each case.

You might be wondering how many people can be in the Authority. The law doesn’t set a maximum number, but it says there must be at least three: the Chief and at least two others.
