Construction Payroll New Zealand

Same system, same architecture, different rules. Hours are captured and approved on site, interpreted against the agreement, then paid, with payday filing to Inland Revenue and KiwiSaver running as part of the cycle. Synced, not uploaded.

What we run

New Zealand construction payroll, end to end

The New Zealand build is the Australian system with New Zealand obligations in place of the ATO and super stack. Nothing about the site workflow changes.

  • IRD payday filing

    Employment information filed with Inland Revenue on the pay cycle, not batched up and forgotten.
  • KiwiSaver

    Employee deductions and employer contributions calculated and paid with the run.
  • Site capture unchanged

    Our CrewTime app, or synced from other apps, with jobs and cost codes attached.
  • AU businesses with NZ crews

    Both entities supported, each reporting to its own regulator, one place to run the pay.

New Zealand questions

Do you support New Zealand construction payroll?

Yes, on the same architecture as Australia: hours captured and approved on site, interpreted, then paid. Payday filing to Inland Revenue and KiwiSaver deductions and contributions run with the pay cycle.

We are an Australian business with a New Zealand branch. Does that work?

That is the most common New Zealand setup we run. Australian and New Zealand employees sit in the right entity with the right tax and super or KiwiSaver treatment, and reporting goes to the right regulator in each country.

How is holiday pay handled?

Holiday pay and leave calculations follow New Zealand rules rather than Australian leave logic. Our NZ holiday pay calculator gives you the working for a single case if you want to sanity check a figure now.
