Why has Payday filing been introduced? In 2018, the New Zealand Government passed Payday filing legislation to streamline the payroll process by aligning payroll reporting requirements with your normal pay cycle. Payday filing replaces your Employer Monthly Schedule (IR348) if you file online or your Employer Schedule (IR348) if you’re a paper filer.
