Appendix One
NZTE’s approach to pay is:
- We compare ourselves to the general market. This means that we compare against other
employers regardless of sector, industry, size or ownership.
- We take a median market position. The market median informs us about what our pay range
should be based on, and becomes the midpoint for the pay range. We then construct our pay
ranges around the midpoint.
- We pitch our pay ranges to be at the middle of the market. People can be paid above the midpoint
this is dependent on skil s and experience.
- We use a job evaluation tool which allows us to group roles of a similar size together in job bands.
Some roles may sit in different bands due to the nature and scope of the role, and the size of the
team that it leads.
The below information on positions only includes NZTE’s New Zealand-paid standard roles, as the
conversion of local salaries from foreign currencies to New Zealand dol ars would provide a
misleading picture.
Role titles have been grouped to ensure privacy of individuals is protected.
