UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DOWN TO 4.6 PERCENT The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent in the September 2017 quarter, down from 4.8 percent in the June 2017 quarter, Stats NZ said today. This is the lowest unemployment rate since the December 2008 quarter, when it was 4.4 percent. In the September 2017 quarter, the unemployment rate for men was 4.1 percent, the lowest rate since the September 2008 quarter. By comparison, the unemployment rate for women was 5.3 percent, up from 4.9 percent in the previous quarter. The unemployment rate for Māori was 9.9 percent, down from 10.6 percent a year ago. See the labour market summary for the September 2017 quarter below.
In the September 2017 quarter, the underu lisa on rate was unchanged from the previous quarter at 11.8 percent, down from 12.3 percent a year ago. This rate is the number of underu lised persons divided by the extended labour force, where the extended labour force is the total of the labour force (ie the number of persons employed and unemployed) and the poten al labour force (ie people who are not in the labour force but can be considered to be just outside it). See Introducing underu lisa on in the labour market for more informa on. Underu lisa on is a measure of the poten al labour supply and unmet need for work. An underu lised person may be unemployed, underemployed (wan ng more hours), an unavailable jobseeker, or an available poten al jobseeker. See the total underu lisa on diagram for the September 2017 quarter below. The labour force par cipa on rate increased to 71.1 percent in the September 2017 quarter, as 54,000 more people entered the labour force. “This is the highest labour force par cipa on rate on record for the household labour force survey, and reflects more people entering employment,” labour market and household sta s cs senior manager Diane Ramsay said. “This is in line with strong quarterly working‐age popula on growth and near record‐high annual net migra on.” In the September 2017 quarter, the employment rate was 67.8 percent, up from 66.7 percent in the previous quarter. This is the highest rate since the series began in 1986. Employment rates for women reached a record high in the quarter. In the September 2017 quarter, employment rose 2.2 percent, following a 0.1 percent contrac on in the June 2017 quarter. “Recent quarterly changes in employment levels have been vola le, reflec ng New Zealand’s dynamic labour market,” Ms Ramsay said. “However, the trend series shows a steady increase.”
Persons employed in labour force, seasonally adjusted and trend
September 2014 to September 2017
Annually, employment increased 4.2 percent, with men and women contribu ng roughly equally to the
increase. More than 85 percent of the growth in employment was from those employed full me.
More than half the annual growth in employment came from those aged 25–39 (up 53,200). Asian, Māori,
and Other (comprised largely of people self‐iden fying as New Zealanders) ethnici es contributed most
strongly to annual employment growth.
Over the year, employment growth, as measured by the household labour force survey, was reflected in
the following industries:
professional, scien fic, technical, administra ve, and support services (eg architects and engineers) –
up 34,400 or 12.0 percent
construc on – up 22,300 or 9.9 percent
public administra on and safety – up 12,500 or 9.1 percent.
Within the construc on industry, employment growth was strongest in Auckland and Wellington, but
subdued in Canterbury.
In the year to the September 2017 quarter, unadjusted filled jobs, as measured by the quarterly
employment survey (QES), increased 2.5 percent (up 46,300 jobs). The construc on, retail trade, and
accommoda on and food services industries were the largest contributors to the increase.
The labour cost index (LCI) increased 1.9 percent on an annual basis, up from 1.7 percent in the year to the
June 2017 quarter. This is the largest annual increase since the September 2012 quarter.
A major contributor to wage growth in the latest quarter was the impact of the Care and Support Worker
(Pay Equity) Se lement Act (2017), which took effect on 1 July 2017. See Pay deal for care and support
workers li s wages for more informa on about the effects of this Act on the QES and LCI.
“Stats NZ produces the most comprehensive and reliable measures of labour market data available,
following current best prac ce and standards set by the Interna onal Labour Organiza on,” Government
Sta s cian and Chief Execu ve Liz MacPherson said. “We look forward to playing a full part in any review
of New Zealand’s official measures of unemployment, as specified in the coali on agreement between
Labour and New Zealand First.”
Claiming Christmas expenses Staff par es Throwing a staff party can be a great way to see out the year and celebrate successes, but there are tax considera ons to think about. You can claim some costs of a party or staff gi s, but they may be subject to fringe benefit tax. This is paid on benefits workers get as a result of their employment. Half your holiday party expenses may be claimed in your GST and income tax returns if the expenses relate to your business. Expenses can include: food and drink entertainment venue hire. Entertainment expenses guide— Inland Revenue Business gi s and entertainment Generally, you can claim the costs of gi s as a business expense, eg hampers or gi vouchers. But you may need to pay fringe benefit tax on these gi s. A meal out provided by the business is an entertainment expense and you can claim 50% as a business expense. Giving to charity You can deduct 100% of the cost of entertainment you provide to members of the public for charitable purposes. For example, if your business donates food to a party at a hospital. Paying staff over the holidays When there’s a public holiday on a day your employee usually works, they’re en tled to a paid day off — no ma er how long they’ve worked for you. You can only require employees to work a public holiday if it’s wri en in their employment agreements. Also, if they agree to work, you must: pay them at least me and a half give them another paid day off later. Mondayisa on When a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, employees who don’t normally work then get the following Mon‐ day as their paid public holiday — this is called Mondayisa on. The public holidays for the upcoming Christmas break, with the day of the week they fall on, are as follows: Christmas Day — Monday, 25 December 2017 Boxing Day — Tuesday, 26 December 2017 New Year's Day — Monday, 1 January 2018 Day a er New Year's Day — Tuesday, 2 January 2018.
Why you need to start planning now

traders
your business? Or will NZ Super be enough?
“The newly re red have par cular challenges on how to manage their nest egg so it lasts,” says David Boyle from the
Commission for Financial Capability.
“While many of us keep working in our businesses — or become consultants — way past the age of 65, sooner or later we’re
going to wind down and do all those things we always wanted to. And that takes planning,” Boyle says.
“There are many choices to be made that you don’t get any prac se for, and — no pressure — you don’t have the chance to
recover if you don’t get it right, because you’ve already sold or shut your business. KiwiSaver can help if you draw down your
funds gradually throughout the years.”
Thinking about these choices well in advance — and ge ng sound advice — means you won’t have to make decisions under
pressure or while stressed. It’s a great way to safeguard your financial future.
But focusing on the present, rather than the future, is a common trait among small business owners and sole traders. A recent
survey for Xero found that although 20 per cent of all New Zealand small business owners are likely to re re or sell their
businesses in the next decade, few have put much thought into an exit or succession plan.

KiwiSaver risks vs returns
Dial up your
savings with Like all investment funds, you need to effec vely manage your KiwiSaver, no ma er what your age is. If you’re not already in
KiwiSaver
it, you’re missing out on free money from the government — a top‐up of $521 a year if you put in at least $20 a week, or
$1,043 a year.
But there are new decisions to make about risks vs returns — and how long you want this nest egg to last — the closer you
are to slowing down or stopping work.
It’s important to manage your KiwiSaver account according to how soon you’ll need that money.
If you plan on using it within the next decade, lower‐risk assets like bonds can be a good choice.
But if you won’t be dipping into it for at least 10 years, you have more me to ride out the ups and downs of the market.
This means growth assets like shares and commercial property — poten ally higher returns, but also the risk of bigger
losses.
Your comfort level with taking financial risks also plays a part. “You don’t want to be losing sleep or become too anxious about
the level of risk you’re taking,” says Tom Hartmann, personal finance editor at Sorted.
KiwiSaver funds can be accessed a er the age of 65, or when you’ve been in the scheme for five years, whichever comes
later. You can stay in KiwiSaver a er that for as long as you choose, with no requirement to withdraw all your savings.
Ge ng financial Get good advice
advice
Boyle recommends discussing your op ons with your KiwiSaver provider or an independent advisor. “There really is no
subs tute for good financial advice when you’re planning for your re rement, par cularly with how your KiwiSaver funds will
support your well‐being in those years a er you’ve worked so hard.”

Capability, tasked with helping New Zealanders get ahead financially.

How to write a
business plan Whichever is right for you and your business, think about what steps you need to take to get ready for a smooth transi on.
Small businesses without plans in place o en fail when their owners re re, get sick or die.
Don’t wait for a health scare or 65th birthday to rush you into an ill‐planned decision. The best plans are made years in

what will happen.
Selling your
business
Selling up
Even if you close your business rather than sell it as a going concern, think about what will happen to its assets, including
intellectual property. You’ll want to get a good price for these.
Whether you operate as a sole trader, partnership or company, you can think about selling at any stage, from before launch
to approaching re rement. Poten al buyers will want to know about:
financial posi on
strategic plan
suppliers or other business rela onships
assets, including intellectual property.
Selling a business is a specialist area so it’s worth ge ng an advisor to help you.
Stepping back Succession
from your
business
A solid succession plan is essen al if you want your business to carry on successfully a er you leave it.
You may want to pass management or ownership to your children or a trusted business partner. Or you might want to retain
some ownership but take a back seat on day‐to‐day management.
Whatever you choose, there’s a lot to consider and you may need expert advice. Steps to take include:
Talk to your family — even if they don’t plan to take over the business.
Set goals.
Know your assets, including intellectual property.
Have a meframe.
Create and/or review a business plan.

NEW ZEALAND BUSINESSES VALUE AGING WORKERS More than half of New Zealand employers value the experience of their workers over the age of 55, according to new research. The latest New Zealand Diversity Survey revealed that 61 per cent of organisa ons are perceived to value the most senior members of their staff, and a third offer flexible or reduced hours and the opportunity to be a mentor to their aging workers. The survey is conducted twice a year by Diversity Works New Zealand and Chief Execu ve Bev Cassidy‐ Mackenzie says it’s also encouraging to see that the number of organisa ons with no specific strategy for engaging with aging workers dropped from more than 70 per cent a year ago to just 32 per cent last month. “Government figures predict that by 2020, a quarter of the New Zealand workforce will be aged 55 or older, and these wisdom workers can offer a solu on to the skills and labour shortage many industry sectors are facing. Businesses need to capitalise on the experience and loyalty they bring to the workforce and the New Zealand economy,” she says. However, only a quarter of organisa ons surveyed have a formal policy or ini a ve in place to deal with the issue of an aging workforce, something Cassidy‐Mackenzie expects to change within the next 12 months. “We saw some great ini a ves to maximise the benefits of older workers at the 2017 Diversity Awards NZ™ ‐ the supreme winner, tourism operator Real Journeys, has introduced a scheme that uses its experienced skippers nearing re rement to train younger workers, crea ng new career opportuni es for staff at both ends of the age spectrum.” Michael Barne , a director of the New Zealand Chambers of Commerce, agrees. “Hoping that an ageing workforce will be someone else’s problem is not a strategy. The survey clearly shows that older workers are valued and depended on and that we should have a plan to retain and re‐ educate if we are to keep them as a resource,” he says. Smaller businesses might consider a strategy that engages older workers who are loyal and will bring knowledge and stability to their work places, he says. The NZ Diversity Survey, which was ini ated in 2013 to create a be er understanding of the key diversity challenges facing New Zealand organisa ons, is carried out twice a year by Diversity Works New Zealand, in partnership with the New Zealand Chambers of Commerce and supported by Massey University.

Colourwood is a small hobby business that was primarily created to keep the maker, Grant McLellan, out of trouble in his spare me. Whether that has been achieved may be debatable, but evenings and weekends he can generally be found amongst wood shavings, saw dust, and odd smells, not always related to the products he makes, plying his skills as an indentured cabinetmaker with many years of na onal and interna onal experience. Colourwood is actually about bringing colour and wood together through various products ranging from wall art, home décor items, upcycled or repurposed furniture or custom made new furniture. Sick of looking at poorly made imported furniture, we believe with a bit of love we can liven up quality solid wood furniture from yesteryear that look cool, and with reasonable prices a ached.
