Labour Day is nearly here! ✨

A quick reminder that your Working for Families payments will still be paid on your usual day.

If you receive weekly or fortnightly Working for Families payments, the payment dates remain Tuesday 27 October or Wednesday 28 October.

As Monday is a public holiday, depending on your bank, the time of day you receive your payment on Tuesday or Wednesday may not be the same. However, it will still be paid on your usual day.

You might see in myIR that the processed date is showing as different to the dates we’ve outlined above. However, this does not change the payment dates.

Paid parental leave payments are also not affected. The next payment is Tuesday 3 or Wednesday 4 November.

Have a lovely long weekend, New Zealand! Be sure to let us know in the comments how you and your family are spending the long weekend.

Important Employment Court decision: overseas payments for New Zealand jobs are illegal

The Court has set a precedent removing uncertainty about migrant exploitation.

The Wages Protection Act prohibits workers being charged a fee for a job. However, previously it was not clear if New Zealand law could be applied to such a payment that was made overseas. The Court has confirmed that these payments made overseas are prohibited.

Migrant workers paying significant sums of money for promises of jobs and residency is a recurring feature of migrant exploitation and is widespread.

The Court’s decision provides a legal tool to help combat this exploitation.

New Zealand’s economy continues to recover, but the recovery remains fragile and uneven. The latest NZIER QSBO shows a marked improvement in business confidence, hiring and investment intentions, although actual activity and household demand remain soft. Inflation remains elevated, and renewed increases in global oil prices pose an upside risk. This NZIER Insight examines the challenging environment facing the next Government, with fiscal choices constrained by the inflation outlook and the Government’s fiscal position. Greater policy certainty and well-targeted investment remain important for lifting productivity and long-term growth.
