Ask the way you'd ask a colleague. Get what the law states, with every line cited, attorney-reviewed and kept current.
Global employment law is fragmented and difficult to navigate without spending hours researching and thousands on legal counsel. There's no single source of information designed for HR, business teams, or companies starting to expand globally.
The policy you set up when you entered a market may not be the law today, and nobody explains what these changes simply are.
Companies are forced to pay by the hour for every question, or risk heavy fines or reputational damage if something was missed.
Spend your time running the business, not reading the statute
Primary law only: the statute or regulation itself, plus official government guidance. Never blogs or secondary takes.
AI extracts the employment provisions and drafts the first structure of each rule.
An attorney checks 100% of rules, line by line, against the provision they come from.
A rule goes live only after it clears review. Then we keep watching the law.
When an employee takes vacation (called annual holidays in New Zealand law), employers must pay them at whichever is greater: their ordinary weekly pay as at the start of the holiday, or their average weekly earnings (gross earnings over the past 12 months divided by 52) over the 12 months immediately before the end of the last pay period before the holiday.
- Employers must pay this vacation pay before the holiday is taken, unless the employer and employee agree instead to pay it in the pay period covering the time the holiday is taken…

TerraNova turns official employment law into plain-English rules, each cited to the exact section it comes from so you spend your time on decisions, not research.
No. Ask in your own words, the way you would ask a colleague. Mention a country and the search filters to it automatically, or pick a country from the flag beside the search bar. Leave it on the globe to search every country you cover.
Statutory rules between employer and worker: hiring and contracts, working time, wages, leave, mandated benefits, health and safety, discrimination, employee data, termination, notice, severance and post-termination restrictions. Not covered: entity formation, payroll tax, social security mechanics, immigration, pensions, general data protection, contractor classification outside employment statutes.
Every rule states the law as it stands today. We monitor supported countries and tell you what changed and which rules it affects.
