Work In New Zealand

Before you want to apply for working holiday, you must be wondering whether the salary there able to support your living expenses, how to get a job and what of jobs you gonna get?



Kind of jobs

Basically, most of us worked in factories, orchard, farm, restaurant or cafe. Of course, there are office work as well but this kind of jobs are very limited. Yeah, jobs available are like those part time job that you can get during your school holiday. Never expect work to be easy because you are having working holiday but not holiday solely. Most of the jobs are physical related jobs and you might need stand for a long time or use a lot of energy. But, don't too worry when you read this because everyone of us had gone through it and all of us were able to survived. Therefore, never try never know. For me, I worked in factories most of the time and the jobs were not hard but they required repetitive movements. Besides, I personally prefer factory work simply because the job was more stable!
Wages  

Pay in New Zealand are given out in weekly basic. Most of the jobs are paid hourly. At this moment (2011), New Zealand gorvement set NZD13 (Change to NZD13.5 in April 2012) per hour as minimum wages (before tax). Of course, there are always some exceptional, like those who worked in orchard, they might paid by the quantity of fruits they have harvested. Wages can be given in the form of cash, cheque or they banked in to your account. 

IRD

IRD (Inland Revenue Department) is something like our income tax. This account is very important because for those working holiday people who have this account will be taxed (12.54-19.54%) depends on your total income. You may check your tax here. BUT, for those who do not have the account, you will be taxed up to 47%!!! Want to get more money from your work? Open an IRD account is the first step of working holiday.
