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 Every Step of the Way
Rarely does one want/need a lawyer, but when circumstances required I obtain one, Hilary and the WorkLaw team took exceptionally good care of me, had my back all throughout, and ensured the best possible outcome. It was an educational-process to say the least, but I am glad I trusted Hilary and went with WorkLaw.
Reassuring Guidance Through a Stressful Time
I cannot thank Sandy enough for her support throughout my employment matter. From the very beginning she was professional, knowledgeable, reassuring, and incredibly easy to communicate with during what was a very stressful time for me. Sandy always made sure I understood the process, gave honest advice, and handled everything calmly and professionally. Thanks to her guidance, we achieved a very positive outcome that I was genuinely happy with. I highly recommend Sandy and Work Law to anyone needing employment advice or representation. Thank you again Sandy. I truly appreciate everything you did for me.

Aston was more than a pleasure to work with, he was determined, reassuring and straight to the point. He gave me confidence and comfort the whole way through. Aston is a fast paced worker who would always get back to you within a short time frame and was keen on getting things sorted. He is professional and he is also wholesome, taking into consideration of your feelings and understanding that a person can only deal with so much. He made everything feel like it would be sorted out eventually and to not give up hope. I would recommend Aston to ANYONE that needs employment advise, and i would definitely be going back to him if i ever found myself in a situation where needed. Highly recommend Aston.
