Work out a New Zealand final pay: leave payout, notice and redundancy.
Use for: 'what should my final pay be', 'how much annual leave am I owed
when I leave', 'I am resigning, what do they owe me', 'do I get 8% holiday
pay'.
ASK HOW LONG THEY WORKED THERE FIRST. It decides the whole calculation:
- Under 12 months: no leave entitlement has vested, so the Holidays Act
pays 8% of ALL gross earnings during the employment. Set
service="under12" and pass gross_earnings_total. A leave balance
showing in a payroll system is NOT what they are owed.
- 12 months or more: unused leave is paid out at a daily rate. Set
service="over12" and pass leave_balance_days.
Getting that branch wrong is the common mistake and it changes the answer
completely.
ALWAYS say what the total leaves out: ordinary wages for days actually
worked are paid on top at the usual rate, and every figure is GROSS. The
leave payout is then taxed as an extra pay, which is nz_lump_sum_tax_calculator.
New Zealand has NO statutory redundancy pay. If they ask what redundancy
they are entitled to, the answer is whatever their employment agreement
says, and nothing if it says nothing.
Args:
annual_salary: Annual salary. Give this OR hourly_rate.
hourly_rate: Hourly rate, used with hours_per_week.
hours_per_week: Ordinary weekly hours, for an hourly rate.
service: "over12" or "under12".
leave_balance_days: Unused leave in DAYS, for over12.
gross_earnings_total: All gross earned, required for under12.
average_weekly_earnings: Optional. Leave is paid at the greater of this
and ordinary weekly pay; pass it if their pay varied.
notice_weeks: Weeks of notice paid in lieu.
redundancy: Agreed redundancy from the employment agreement.
Returns:
Leave payout with its working shown, notice pay, redundancy, the gross
total, and an explicit list of what is excluded.
