Once you've determined the best New Zealand payroll option for your company, you'll need to collect some information from employees in order to add them to your payroll. Begin by acquiring their personal identification number, tax deduction card, and emergency contact information. When an employee begins working and provides you with their tax deduction card, they become a part of the social security system and are eligible for benefits.
In New Zealand, income tax rates vary depending on how much money your employee earns. It varies between 10.5% and more than 30%. Employers do not have to worry about income taxes under the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system because they are automatically deducted from your employees' paychecks.
Employers must, however, account for the 28% corporation tax. There is no social security tax in New Zealand, but you must pay a 15% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on all goods and services sold in the country. Employers in New Zealand must also provide KiwiSaver, the country's retirement savings program, to all employees.
Companies that wish to expand their operations globally have four different payroll options in New Zealand. These payroll options are:
1. Internal Payroll. This payroll option is applicable for already established companies in New Zealand. It includes devoting an entire Human Resources staff to running the company's payroll procedures.
2. Remote Payroll. Smaller firms may lack the capacity to handle their own payroll, but they may add their workers to the parent company's payroll. This action, on the other hand, requires considerable thinking. You must guarantee that you follow the rules and laws of each nation.
Working with a local outsourcing firm is one method to retain money in the local economy, but you'll still need to study all of the local rules and regulations, since you'll be held responsible.
3. New Zealand payroll outsourcing: Outsourcing your payroll to an Employer of Record in New Zealand, such as Rivermate, is another alternative for Andorra payroll outsourcing. We can manage all aspects of your payroll, including compliance. Send us a note and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!

When an employer intends to terminate an employee's employment, the employer must notify the employee in advance (unless the employer is going to dismiss the employee without notice for serious misconduct).
Simply because an employment agreement specifies a notice period does not mean that the employer has the right to terminate the employee for any reason as long as the employee receives the required notice. Employers must still have a legitimate reason and follow a fair procedure. This also applies to fixed-term contracts.
New Zealand has different minimum wages for adults, starting-out employees, and employees on training. Employees ages 16 and older qualify for the adult minimum wage, which is NZ$20.00 an hour before tax. The starting-out wage is NZ$16.00 an hour before tax and covers 16 and 17-year-olds working for one employer fewer than six months; 18 and 19-year-olds who meet certain specifications; and 16 to 19-year-olds with an employment agreement requiring 40 credits of industry training a year.
The minimum wage for training workers is NZ$16.00 an hour. To qualify as a training worker, the employee needs to be 20 years old or older and have an employment agreement that stipulates at least 60 credits of industry training a year.
In New Zealand, there are no legal restrictions on working hours. The traditional workweek is 40 hours, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a half-hour lunch break.
In New Zealand, there is both public and private healthcare. Many companies provide health insurance as a perk or as an option.
Employees in New Zealand are entitled to a minimum of four weeks of annual leave, with the option of exchanging one week for cash. In addition, the nation has 11 official holidays on which workers are promised a day off. Although you may negotiate additional vacation days, you must keep this statutory minimum in mind when developing your New Zealand benefit management strategy.
Working parents are likewise entitled to maternity and paternity leave. Paid parental leave will be extended to 26 weeks beginning in July 2020. Employees with children may also utilize their sick leave entitlement, known as domestic leave, to care for their ill children or another dependent family member.
