13ZZE: Limitation periods for recovery of remuneration for past work

You could also call this:

"Time limits for getting paid for past work you've done"

If you want to recover remuneration for past work, there is a time limit to do so. This time limit is set by the law, but the specific details for this are no longer in place. The rule about the time limit, which was in section 13ZZE, was repealed on 14 May 2025 by section 43 of the Equal Pay Amendment Act 2025, which you can find more information about on the New Zealand legislation website.
