Why use an employer of record services in New Zealand?

New Zealand continues to be the number one country in the globe in terms of ease of doing business, and it is appealing due to its powerful trade connections, approachable corporate climate, stable administration, and favourable trade conditions.

Whatever your organisation's size, Native Teams’ Employer of Record (EoR) service in New Zealand may give you a local presence quickly and affordably, whether you're searching for a strategic hub in the larger ASIA-PAC area or to test the waters for a standalone local firm.

How do EOR services in New Zealand work?

Hiring employees using EoR services in New Zealand turns employment into a joint responsibility between you, the business owner, and Native Teams, the legitimate employer.

In accordance with local labour rules in New Zealand, Native Teams oversees payroll, taxes, and other administrative responsibilities. You still have complete control over the day-to-day activities of your employees; your only obligation is to cover Native Teams' service-related costs.

Requirements for employment in New Zealand

Before recruiting employees, employers in New Zealand are mandated by law to adhere to a number of significant standards:

Employer tax

An employer’s minimum contribution is 3%.

Company registration

Every company should have a registered company before hiring and onboarding Finnish employees in New Zealand.

Minimum wage

The minimum wage in New Zealand is NZ $22.70 (2188.215 USD/month) per hour. It went into effect on April 1, 2023.

Health and safety regulations

Employers must provide a safe working environment and comply with health and safety regulations.

Working hours

In New Zealand, there are no set hours for labor. The Maximum Wage Act establishes a maximum work week of 40 hours over five days. The majority of businesses are open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a 30- to 60-minute lunch break.

Laws against discrimination

New Zealand's labor laws prohibit discrimination against workers based on their nationality, gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, political beliefs, religion, or disability.

Employment contract

A signed employment agreement is required for each employee. This can be a group agreement or an individual agreement. On behalf of their members, a registered union negotiates collective employment agreements with an employer in good faith. The employment agreement includes certain legally mandated provisions. Therefore, it is important to review external contracts to make sure they have all the required clauses.
