Deductions on wages are governed by the Wages Protection Act 1983. No payments can be unlawfully deducted from wages.
It is the duty of the employer to make regular returns on PAYE on your behalf. Other deductions may apply including KiwiSaver, child support payments and student loan repayments. If you encounter a problem on payments of your tax, we can help investigate. We can help ensure you are being paid above minimum wage for hours worked and, according to the employment contract you are being paid at the correct rate.
If you have a problem with your employer making Unlawful Deductions from your wages, we can help you get your money back and also help resolve any dispute you have with matter that led to the deduction. We can also help you if your wages are underpaid or late paid outside statutory provisions. We can look at your holiday entitlements that should be reflected in your pay.
Where you have any concerns regarding your pay contact us to discuss. Sometimes a wage problem is the beginning of a bigger problem with your employer. We can act quickly on your behalf to keep things from escalating.
What our clients are saying
Hilary had my back.
Can’t really disclose much about my case but I was in really low state leading up to my mediation. Hilary was such a calming influence on me and had my back the whole.way through. Honestly can recommend them highly enough.
It was great to have Andrea in my corner.
We honestly can’t speak highly enough of Andrea. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, clear in her communication and excellent at setting expectations so we always understood where things stood and what the next steps were.
What really stood out for us was how much time Andrea took to genuinely listen and understand our situation. We never felt rushed or like we were just another client — she gave us the opportunity to explain everything properly and made us feel heard, which was incredibly important to us.
Andrea worked extremely hard on our behalf and throughout the whole process gave us real confidence that if she said she was going to do something, she would do it. Having someone like that in your corner makes such a difference, particularly when you’re navigating something that can otherwise feel quite stressful.
Professional, patient, hardworking and genuinely caring. We’re incredibly grateful for everything Andrea has done for us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. An absolute pleasure to deal with.
Extremely grateful to Andrea.
We were so grateful to Andrea for all the wonderful help that she gave us. I have recommended and will continue to do so as she is not just a person behind a desk, but is empathetic, kind and extremely supportive. Andrea understands you as a person, not just an employee. Thank you Andrea, we couldn’t have done it without you! Extremely grateful!
Exceptional!
I had the pleasure of dealing with Sandy. Sandy is an exceptional communicator who clearly goes into disputes with purpose & honesty. She injected humour into our discussions (which lightened the moment & stress levels), offered practical advice & showed cultural compassion. I would highly recommend working with her.
Amazing service.
Sheryl was amazing – she is kind honest and takes her time even at first consult
