As a contractor
Reasons to become a contractor include:
- you want to use your skills to earn more than you could as an employee
- you prefer flexible work arrangements
- permanent work is hard to find.
Contractors may do work similar to permanent employees. However, as a contractor, you:
- do your own tax returns
- don’t get paid sick leave
- aren’t paid for public holidays that you don’t work
- aren’t automatically enrolled in a Kiwi Saver scheme.
As a contractor, you’ll have to choose between being a sole trader and starting a company.
