Its just that national seem to take every chance they can to show how much more corrupt, and how many more likes they are willing to tell. National, the party of liars and thieves, simple as that.

Devoid of common sense Nit pickers unable to see the big picture Stuck in their policy manuals. Causing huge unnecessary cost to employers.

Said example is a classic case of complicating what should be a very very simple process. Why Well the more complicated you make it the more chances of an employer getting it wrong so they can be punished

Also allows for employing more civil servants to check and recheck the schedules so as to justify teh extra taxes neede to be raised to pay for said civil servants

All standard MO

It is interesting to note that the poll has been up for a few days. For a mostly right wing site it was showing the expected result. Then, in a sudden flurry, the current government’s parties flew up the rankings until they outnumber others by 10 to 1. And knowing that Labour party supporters have been ticked for manipulating on-line polls before, it’s not a stretch to say that it is quite likely that they have done so again. Especially when you consider how out of touch those results are with the reality of polling done currently. But hey, I don’t need to taste it to know it’s shit. The smell was enough and what I expected from Labour and it’s supporters. Cheat. Lie. Whatever to keep hold of those reins.

Edit: /lol. Paul – have a look here.

Maybe there’s nothing wrong with D4J’s assertion, eh? Maybe it is your world that’s a touch removed from reality. Face it mate, Labour, the Greens and a number of their supporters are indeed spineless, gutless manipulators who will stoop to any low. Makes you think a bit – doesn’t it? How can you trust such a corrupt pack of liars?

Dad, how in your insane, and lets face it far from reality world of yours, is people voting with a click spineless? There was a vote, word got out and people voted, how bloody democratic could you get. And how is it that at least every other post you bring bottoms into it? You are fixated with bottoms and it’s a little bloody unhealthy. Besides, what a pathetic attempt at ridicule, you are even bereft in that department, your put downs are even comical.

DPF gave democracy to the site and the vote didn’t suit your ideals, poor diddums. Besides, where the hell are all of your supporters, why haven’t they been amassed at the border to make a counter vote swell. Don’t tell em the mottled collection of ultra religious conservatives, the insane, and libertarians seething together as the ‘informed’ cyber right is actually just a couple of dozen people. Kinda puts the bleating about deaths of freedoms of speech etc into context, not to mention the march down queen street in the name of democracy.

Edit: of course metaphorically speaking, as not to offend the demerit gamekeeper?

Off the topic David, Labour/Green party supporters have hjacked your poll ” Who would you vote for………

How unsuprising, whats that burning I smell?

Also this isn’t the real problem. The IRD is taking months to transfer the money from their accounts in the Kiwisaver schemes. There is also big discrepencies between what people are paying out and what the IRD are recording.

look here for the details
http://www.ird.govt.nz/kiwisaver/employers/administering/employer-tax-credit/

Examples for employer contributions of $20 a week
If there are … then the actual employer contribution amount is … and the maximum claimable monthly employer contribution amount is … then the monthly ETC claimed is the lesser amount, which is …
4 weekly pays in a 30 day month $80.00
($20.00 x 4 weeks) $85.71 $80.00
5 weekly pays in a 31 day month $100.00
($20.00 x 5 weeks) $88.57 $88.57
2 fortnightly pays in a 30 day month $80.00
($40.00 x 2 fortnights) $85.71 $80.00
3 fortnightly pays in a 31 day month $120.00

($40.00 x 3 fortnights)
$88.57 $88.57

The table is a lot tidier on the web page

Remember the tax credit is based on the ‘days per month’ while the amount paid is generally based on the weeks per month

But if you think Kiwisaver is bad, try the changes to youth rates – now if you are over 16 but less than 18 the employer needs to keep a record of both hours worked (both for the current employer PLUS any previous employers since the employee turned 18 AND any concurrent employers) and period employed. Once the employee has worked 200 hours (accumulated across ALL employers) or 3 months (with the individual employer) then they are entitled to the minimum wage. Try programming for that, not to mention explaining to customers.

yeah it’s very hard to sit down and work out how many working days a month there are in each calendar month.

It took me all of 10 seconds on iCal to work out there there were 19 working days this month, and if you live in Taranaki there were 18, that is if you are paid monthly in the ‘naki.

But not quite so easy to go and change all your software systems to take account of this and automate the system so that it correctly accounts for regional holidays, leave days, leap years, shift patterns etc etc.
