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