New Zealand construction payroll guide.

This page is a general New Zealand payroll guide. Project Payroll does not run New Zealand payroll, file with Inland Revenue or pay KiwiSaver. Our offer is Crew Time time capture and Employment Hero construction setup consulting.

General guide

New Zealand payroll obligations, not our payroll service.

These are obligations for your New Zealand payroll provider and payroll team. Do not treat this guide as an offer of Project Payroll processing or reporting.

  • 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

    Each entity needs its own payroll treatment and regulatory reporting, handled by your payroll team.

Australian pages that also apply here: the journal pack and the migration guide .

New Zealand questions

Do you support New Zealand construction payroll?

No. Project Payroll does not provide New Zealand payroll. Confirm payroll, Inland Revenue filing and KiwiSaver with your payroll platform and adviser.

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

Confirm each country's payroll treatment with your payroll provider and adviser. Project Payroll does not operate payroll or regulatory filing for either entity.

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.
