I’m May Moncur
Senior Employment Law Advocate
I have been working as an employment advocate for 13 years, specialising in migrant related employment issues. New Zealand has very clear employment laws and I believe everybody deserves to have their rights upheld.
13 Years of Experience in Employment Law
May is very well respected in the NZ Employment Law community. She has many years of experience with assisting clients with raising grievances and attending mediation and employment court, supporting both employees and employers. May also speaks Chinese and she has helped many migrant workers with employment issues, including exploitation. You will often find May in the news, drawing attention to the unfair treatment of employees in New Zealand.
Hi May,
Just wanted to let you know that I think you’re a legend, I just read the RNZ article you are quoted in and it is great to see someone really holding our government agencies accountable on this issue.
In my opinion the treatment of migrants to New Zealand under recent immigration settings has been scandalous and the lapse framework has allowed criminal behaviour to go unchecked. Also, unfortunately, with Immigration NZ – usually it is the Migrant themselves that bears the brunt of any action that is finally taken and it seems like their deportation or leaving the country (sometimes in debt) from INZs perspective is seen as a reasonable resolution of the issue.
Anyway, I just wanted to say I thought you had it bang on in all your comments and just wanted to thank you. Hopefully with more attention this can lead to change and better outcomes to people who choose to try build their life here.
King regards,
What clients say about May
May's support was invaluable
My determination has been released today, no penalties or compensation required. I’m truly grateful for your attentive guidance and invaluable advice throughout this process. Every discussion not only helped clarify my thoughts but also gave me confidence. You’ve been incredibly professional, patient, and consistently pinpointed the core of the issue. While most advocates rely solely on the law, I deeply admire your approach of understanding and guiding through humanity.
I also sincerely appreciate your trust in me. The journey wasn’t easy, but I’ve genuinely learned so much.
Thank you again, May!
