An individual employment agreement that is not in writing under s65(1)(a) of the Employment Relations Act 2000 is not thereby rendered unenforceable; read in context (notably s64(4)) and in light of the Act's purpose and statutory scheme, oral employment agreements can be valid and enforceable and the employer cannot rely on lack of writing to defeat an employee's claim.
