For professional jobs, the standard contracts offered are open-ended contracts. In New Zealand these types of employment agreements are also referred to as ‘unlimited’ or ‘permanent’ contracts.
Fixed-term contracts, commonly referred to as ‘limited’ or ‘temporary’ contracts in New Zealand, are used but less frequently than open-ended contracts. Under a fixed-term contract, the terms of the working relationship are valid for a specified period.
Collective employment agreements are negotiated between employers and registered unions (representing the employees who are union members). Note that any employee covered by a collective employment agreement can also have additional individual terms.
Your business can easily hire employees in New Zealand without opening a local entity. We handle local employment law, complex tax regulations, and international payroll in 180+ countries worldwide. All you need to do is focus on your business.
The primary difference between Open-Ended and Fixed-term contracts is ‘permanence’ i.e. the potential length of the period of employment. Open-Ended contracts employ on a permanent basis, whereas fixed-term contracts employ for a specified period of time.
There are certain terms and conditions that must be included in all New Zealand employment agreements. For the most part, it’s possible to create employment contracts that align with your company’s objectives and existing policies. At Horizons, our in-country experts can check the particulars of any employment agreement to ensure compliance with New Zealand employment law.
