What is on this site
One question, "final pay calculator nz", answered with a calculator that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- What must be in a final pay in New Zealand: Wages, notice, annual holidays, public holidays and lump sums. What Employment New Zealand says a final pay must contain, when it must be paid, and what if it is short.
- The 8% holiday pay component in a New Zealand final pay: Where 8% of gross earnings comes from when employment ends, how it sits alongside unused annual holiday entitlement, and what comes off it before you are paid.
- Public holidays after your last day of work in New Zealand: Unused annual holidays extend your end date for public holiday purposes. How the rule works, why the extension cascades, and the official worked example over Christmas.
