We make payrolling simple

End-to end digital experience

From start to finish, your entire payrolling experience is made easy and completely paperless…even the IR330C form is completed digitally! Both onboarding and timesheeting is managed via our intuitive contractor platform.

Opt-in PAYG insurance cover

If required, contractors have the option to use our 'Pay-As-You-Go' insurance offering, via Donaldson Brown. Note: Contractors are charged a small premium (usually $0.75-$1.00 per hour + GST depending on the level of cover required).

Reduced contractor admin

As well as taking care of all the admin (including same-day contract generation), we're also on hand to complete MOJ checks, references or any other pre-employment checks you’re keen to look into.

Your contractors’ wellbeing

Te Aka Painga gives every Potentia contractor access to a bunch of perks – developed with their wellbeing at front of mind.

While in the past, contractors haven't always received this level of care from recruiters in New Zealand, we thought it was time they got more…after all, contractors are a part of our extended whānau, so why shouldn’t they benefit from the same things our people do?

$200 health contribution

GP appointments. Dental work. Physio. The list goes on.Everyday healthcare costs add up and we want to play a small part in removing the barriers for treatment. Your contractors receive an annual $200 health contribution (on a pre-loaded Mastercard) that can be tapped into at any time throughout the duration of their contract.

Wellbeing discovery sessions

Completely self-managed, our drop in wellbeing discovery sessions are all about helping your contractors be their best self – without sacrificing their mental health. They simply book in a 30-minute slot with our wellbeing expert, Gayle Johnston, as and when they need support (these sessions are held over the phone).

Birthday gifts

Everyone loves a little something on their birthday (don’t try and deny it!). When your contractors open up their inbox on their birthday, they might just find a little surprise from the Potentia whānau...a small thank you for all their efforts while on contract through us.

Exclusive invites

From quiz nights to industry meetups and more, our contractors are the first to know about the various events we host throughout the year – the perfect opportunity to network with their peers, gain valuable market intel, meet the Potentia team and of course, load up on free food and drinks!
