Changes in payroll-related legislation have been introduced since our last conference. What do those changes mean for employers?
Session includes the requirement to have employment agreements on file, an in-depth look at the issues surrounding cashing up of annual holidays, and an update on what Government has foreshadowed for this Parliamentary term and how those changes might impact on the payroll scene.
Richard Dagger, Senior Consultant, Employers’ Chamber of Commerce Central
10.00am – 10.40am KiwiSaver Update
The KiwiSaver scheme is changing again – as of 1 April the KiwiSaver employer contributions are taxed.
