Tātaitai Utu Hāora ki Utu-ā-Tau

Ko te huringa tikanga mō te mahi-katoa-wā i Aotearoa ko: utu-ia-tau = reiti hāora whakarea ki te 40 hāora ia wiki whakarea ki te 52 wiki ia tau, ka homai he 2,080 hāora mahi ia tau. Hei tauira, ko te $25 ia hāora ka rite ki te $25 x 2,080 = $52,000 ia tau i mua i te tāke. Kāore e whakauruhia ana i tēnei tatauranga ngā hāora nui, ngā tapunga huri, te utu hararei ture rānei. Ko te utu noa ia marama ko te tau ia tau wehewehea ki te 12 ($52,000 / 12 = $4,333 ia marama). Mō ngā tūnga wā-wahi, whakareahia te reiti hāora ki o hāora ake ia wiki katahi ki te 52. Kia mahara ko te tau ia tau ka tātaihia he noa (i mua i te tāke PAYE me ētahi atu tangohanga). Hei kitea tō utu-kawea-ki-kāinga, whakaarahia ngā reiti PAYE pa ana me ngā tangohanga penei i ngā takoha KiwiSaver. Puna: Employment NZ; papa PAYE a IRD.

Mai i te 1 o Āperira 2026, ko te utu iti rawa pakeke o Aotearoa ko te $23.95 ia hāora i mua i te tāke. Mō tētahi kaimahi katoa-wā i te 40 hāora ia wiki me te 52 wiki ia tau (2,080 hāora), ka rite tēnei ki te $23.95 x 2,080 = $49,816 ia tau noa i mua i te tāke. E rua ngā reiti utu iti rawa iti iho: ko te utu timatanga me te utu whakangungu, ko raua tahi ka whakaritea ki te $19.16 ia hāora (80% o te reiti pakeke) mai i te 1 o Āperira 2026. Ka pā te utu timatanga ki ngā kaimahi 16-19 tau i mahi iti iho i te 6 marama ki te kaituku mahi kotahi, i roto rānei i tētahi kaupeka whakangungu ahumahi whakaaehia.

I raro i te Ture Hararei 2003, ka whai mōrearea ana kaimahi katoa o Aotearoa i te iti rawa 4 wiki (20 ra) o riro hararei ia tau, he rite tata ki te 8% o ngā moni whiwhi noa. I te whakataurite i ngā reiti hāora ki ngā utu ia tau, he mea nui te mārama ko te tatauranga paerewa 2,080-hāora (52-wiki) kua uru kē ana i ngā 4 wiki hararei — ka utua ana kaimahi mō te 52 wiki tae atu ki te mōrearea hararei, ehara i te 48 wiki mahi me te 4 wiki kore-utu. Mō ngā kaimahi noa ka utua i runga i te "e hiahiatia ana" ka tapirihia ana te utu hararei i te 8% i runga ake i ia utu. Ko te tikanga ka whiwhi tētahi kaimahi noa e $25 ia hāora i te $25 x 1.08 = $27 noa ia hāora i roto i te utu katoa tae atu ki te whai mōrearea utu hararei. Whakatauritea tonu ngā kopaki utu katoa, ehara ko te reiti hāora turanga anake, i te arotake i ngā tono mahi o Aotearoa. Puna: Employment NZ; Ture Hararei 2003.

Ko te Utu Ora i Aotearoa he tauine utu tūāhu mataora ka tātaihia hei utu e tika ana mō tētahi kaimahi ki te tutuki i ana hiahia turanga me te uru tino ki te hapori. Mai i Mahuru 2024, ko te reiti Utu Ora ko te $26.00 ia hāora, ka whakaritea ia tau e te Living Wage Aotearoa i runga i tētahi tauira o ngā utu tino mō tētahi kāinga o Aotearoa. Mō tētahi kaimahi katoa-wā i te 40 hāora ia wiki, ka rite tēnei ki te $26.00 x 2,080 = $54,080 ia tau noa. Ko te Utu Ora ($26.00) he nui ake i te utu iti rawa pakeke ture o $23.95 ia hāora (mai i te 1 o Āperira 2026), ko te rereketanga ko $2.85 ia hāora, tata ki te $5,928 ia tau rānei. He maha ngā kaituku mahi o Aotearoa, inā koa ko ngā kaupeka kāwanatanga matua, kua neke ana ki te utu o te iti rawa Utu Ora ki ngā kaimahi katoa kua mahi tika ana.
