Taxes... With-holding etc... help

[placidfemme]

after you leave sounds like you need to drop him in the shit. My girlfriend didn't get paid her holiday pay when she worked at a cafe and she called the labour inspector and he went to the business and found lots of people weren't paid correctly and all sorts of problems they had huge fines to pay and my girlfriend got her holiday pay. Make sure you know what car he drives, his address his license plate number etc because my girlfriends bosses shut up the bussines and tried to hide. The labour inspector was useless at finding him me and my gf had to look through the electoral role to find them for the inspector so he could do his job

lol another long story but IRD know exactly who my boss is. All I'd have to do is mention his name and they'd be on him. Looking back now there have been so many signs to leave before the shit hit the fan, but as usual I tried to be loyal and have ended up fucking myself because of it.

No not yet. Havn't talked to the boss yet. He's sitting 2m away from me as I type, but I'm leaving in 20 mins to do my full so don't wanna bum myself out for that. I'll be confronting him about it tomorrow.

[avgas]

what placidfemme said - sort yourself out now cos sounds like the company is gonna cop some shit soon.
been there done that - and its best you look after yourself

I second Ixion's points about the likely situation re. withholding tax, but given that your boss has historically proven himself to be a cunt, you're in danger of being screwed over, or at least having your life made difficult for a while. I'd never put myself in that position. When I take on a job, either Fish Limited is invoicing monthly, including GST, or Mr Fish is a full-blown vanilla employee on salary. No medium ground.

With regards to the contract, write one yourself. Just state responsibilities, hours of work, rate of remuneration, and termination conditions. Employment law will fill in the blanks for you. Sign two copies, take them to your boss, talk through it with him and tell him that unless he disagrees with anything in there, you'd like him to sign both copies now. Tell him that you'll be happy to execute any future variations required for clarification.

If you can't take a calculator and work out within 60 seconds how much cash you should be walking away with every month, then something is seriously amiss.

employers are ment to keep wage books that are ment to be sined by you each pay. you are also alowed to check them over every thing thats taken out of you pay should be in it.also theres reconcilation forms employers have to fill and send in each month and keep a copy. ask to see both.
{book and recon slips}.as for with holding tax if your paying that then you can claim expencise like car/ bike runing costs .the wage book :P A Y E book should have each deduction itamised

I'm self-employed and get witholding tax taken out of my money before I get it - about 25% or 30% I think. I don't earn it for commission though, I get it for my writing and photography work.

Sounds like this guy may have set you all up as contractors and advised IRD you would be paying your own tax, then didn't bother to tell you that. If he has been doing this, you need to talk to someone at IRD and find out if he has ever paid any tax on your behalf, or any student loan contributions. Sounds a bit dodgy to me, so I'd get it sorted asap before you find yourself in even more debt.

Sam and I are planning to move to Tauranga, so we need to find a new old age home for my gran down there, find jobs and then my boss can go fuck himself.

If your coming to tauranga...there is a huge skill shortage in the Kiwifruit industry from March through to June. The work ranges from office to coolstore stuff, Forklift driving to truck driving. Theres also the other stuff, packing fruit, grading etc.. The pay is average at best starting at $12ish (is why Tauranga is called $10 Tauranga)

If the casual staff are to the liking of management, chances are full time employment is offered.

Tonnes of different companies...all advertising now. Key positions are being filled atm, later on, shed staff. That reminds me..Im looking for about 60 staff for a packhouse at Papamoa.

As for Retirement villages/homes, let me put it to you this way, you wont be short of choices.
