Frequently asked questions
Yes. We manage KiwiSaver, New Zealand’s workplace retirement savings scheme, where employers must contribute a minimum of 3% of salary for enrolled employees, along with PAYE income tax and ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation) levies. We also apply the Holidays Act’s minimum entitlements for annual, sick, and bereavement leave.
KiwiSaver contributions above the statutory 3% minimum, private health insurance, and additional annual leave beyond the statutory four weeks are common differentiators in New Zealand. Flexible and remote work arrangements are also weighted heavily by New Zealand candidates, particularly outside the main centers.
New Zealand’s Employment Relations Act doesn’t set a single statutory notice period; instead, notice is typically defined by the individual employment agreement, with ‘reasonable notice’ implied where the contract is silent. Employers must follow a fair and reasonable process for any dismissal, and personal grievance claims for unjustified dismissal are common where process isn’t followed properly, regardless of company size.
An EOR can typically onboard within a few days to a week once IRD number and KiwiSaver details are confirmed, compared with the several weeks needed to incorporate a New Zealand company and register for PAYE and ACC as an employer.
New Zealand’s process-driven approach to dismissal, where personal grievance risk exists regardless of business size, requires careful handling from day one. An EOR manages KiwiSaver, ACC, and Employment Relations Act compliance and carries the liability, which is typically the practical route for an initial New Zealand hire.
