Once your company decides on expanding into the New Zealand market, the differences between a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) and EOR (Employer of Record) services can seem frustratingly vague. It‘s helpful to learn about their unique characteristics so that you can be informed and make the decision that‘s best for your company and employees.
A PEO operates as a separate company providing HR services outsourcing to employees working at other companies.
These HR services can include payroll outsourcing, tax filings, and consulting on legal issues.
An EOR is also a separate company that performs similar functions as that of a PEO but is also legally liable for the employees it hires
In addition to providing the same services that a PEO provides, an EOR is responsible for all the liabilities of recruiting and employment.
Under a PEO agreement, the employment contract between your company and the employee remains unchanged.
New Zealand’s labor law is derived from statutes (Acts of Parliament) and common law (principles developed by Courts and Tribunals). Currently, a series of statutes constitute what has been referred to as the ‘minimum code’. This determines the minimum entitlements for employees working in New Zealand.
In cases where there are disagreements about labor contracts, the disputing parties can come to terms through the Employment Court and the New Zealand Court of Appeals.
In New Zealand, the usual number of working hours per week is 40 hours. However, this can be increased if both the employer and employee agree.
In many professions, there is no additional payment required for overtime work. However, there are collective agreements in many blue-collar industries that provide for overtime payments.
If an employee is required to work on one of the 11 annual public holidays and that day falls on a typical working day, then by law, the employee will be entitled to a paid day off on a different date.
As of 2021, workers in New Zealand can take 10 days of paid sick leave annually.
The Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act of 1987 provides the minimum entitlements to be provided for paid and unpaid parental leave for both mothers and fathers for both natural birth and adoption.
The “primary caregiver” can take up to 26 weeks of paid leave. This can be shared between partners.
Leave payments are made by Inland Revenue.
The other partner may be eligible for 1-2 weeks of unpaid Partner’s Leave.
Employees can also take a total of 52 weeks for extended unpaid parental leave. This is shared between partners.
Additionally, there are 10 days allowed for special leave, which can be taken by a female employee who is pregnant before she takes maternity leave for reasons connected with her pregnancy.
CIT
New Zealand resident companies are taxed on the income earned worldwide. Non-resident companies (including branches) will be taxed on the income they earn inside New Zealand. The New Zealand corporate income tax is 28%. There are no state or municipal income taxes in New Zealand.
Employer/Employee Contribution
New Zealand tax law requires that employers pay a compulsory employer contribution for employees if they meet the requirements that are set out in section 101C of the KiwiSaver Act. These requirements are:
No, it is necessary to use a local entity abroad to comply with each country labor law.
Foreign companies can either set up a local entity in each country or use the services a local PEO (Professional Employment Organization) to hire the staff on-site directly.
The employer of record is the legal entity liable for the staff employed in a specific country. In practice, a foreign company can either open a subsidiary to become the employer of record of its abroad employees or use a PEO to act as the employer of record.
In general, 1-month is necessary to have an employee based out abroad using an existing PEO as the employe of record. When incorporating a new subsidiary to be the employer of record, the delay varies from 4-12 months.
