Rehire/reinstate or new employee

Hi, 

I am using NZ Desktop Payroll version 2024.2

We have a returning employee who has been away from the company for 12 months.

 

In terms of reloading them into NZ Payroll, should I load them as a new employee, or is there a reinstate button or process?

Secondly, are there any other items to consider with a returning employee with regards to NZ employment rules and regs?

 

Thanks.

 

 

  • Hey Bullswool,

     

    For reloading a returning employee into NZ Desktop Payroll version 2024.2, you should load them as a new employee. In addition, when dealing with a returning employee, consider the following NZ employment rules and regulations:

    1. Leave Entitlements: Ensure that their leave entitlements are correctly calculated based on their new start date.
    2. KiwiSaver: Check if they need to be re-enrolled in KiwiSaver or if they've opted out previously.
    3. Tax Code: Verify their tax code and any other relevant tax details.
    4. Employment Agreement: Ensure that their employment agreement is updated and compliant with current regulations.

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen

    Hi Bullswool In NZ Payroll when you create a new employee - you can copy data from the old employee code. You should create a new employee code because then you have a record and correct start and finish dates.
