Relocation

Many of the people who work at Tait have relocated to Christchurch, either domestically of internationally. We have learnt that relocation needs between individuals and families vary, so we offer a flexible and comprehensive relocation package. 

Profit Share

All employees benefit further from Sir Angus Tait's philosophy with the annual profit share scheme. This is linked directly to company performance and is based on a percentage of base salary. In recent years the profit share has ranged from 3% to 6% - it has a ceiling of 10%.

Maternity Leave

All Tait employees are entitled to 12 months unpaid maternity/paternity leave. This time period is standard under New Zealand Employment Law.

Leave

All employees are eligible for four weeks annual leave per year. Combine this with the 11 statutory holidays and you'll have 31 days leave per year. Graduates also receive time off to attend their graduation ceremonies.

Student Loan Scheme

As an alternative to the Superannuation Scheme, you may be invited to join the Student Loan Scheme. Where the contributions would have been accumulating in a superannuation fund, they will instead be used to reduce any student loans.

Superannuation

The Government policy on retirement means most New Zealanders receive a pension of some description. We have run a company superannuation scheme for many years in addition to this. As an employee, you'll contribute 5% of your salary/wages to the scheme, while we will make an equal 5% contribution. At the end of ten years in the scheme, we'll increase our contribution to 10%.

Medical

All Tait staff and their families benefit from subsidised private medical insurance.  While New Zealand's public medical care is of a very high quality, many use private medical facilities for elective surgery or to avoid public waiting list delays.
