At Remote People, we follow New Zealand employment standards while also aligning with internal company policies designed to promote work-life balance and compliance.
Standard Working Hours
The standard maximum working time is 40 hours per week.
Flextime arrangements may be possible, depending on the client's operational needs and approval.
Overtime Policy
Remote People generally does not permit overtime as part of standard employment. Instead, any additional working hours must be:
Agreed in advance and clearly stated in the employment agreement
Limited to a maximum of 15% of the employee's ordinary weekly hours
Pre-approved by the client and Remote People
If overtime is agreed upon in exceptional cases, it is standard practice to include a clause in the employment agreement specifying that overtime will be compensated at 150% of the regular hourly rate.
