Hi, I would just like to seek some expert advice on the difference between a contract job say for 6mth / 12mth vs a fixed-term job for 6mths / 12mths (is there any difference between the first two???) vs a permanent job. I understand from online sources that there could be significant difference. Could someone help on this topic probably pertaining to
- Wage difference
- Paid Holidays / Sick Leave
- Insurance
- KiwiSavers
- Tax, ACC
- Others ???
The reason I asked is that I have been given an option between a contract or a permanent role. Not sure why I have gotten the options but it would definitely help me alot by first knowing the differences it encompasses as the way these employment terms work in NZ is definitely different from Singapore.
Cheers,
Ken
