How do I apply for a salary assessment?
The Salary assessment application portal (the portal) is the easiest way for teachers to apply for a salary assessment.
Before applying for a salary assessment, you'll need to gather your supporting documents and information.
|
|
|
| 1 |
Your education sector logon (ESL) username and password |
You need this to log in to the portal. Your school applies for an ESL on your behalf so talk to them if you haven't received this. |
| 2 |
NZ teacher registration number, start and expiry dates |
If you're not yet registered as a teacher in NZ, you can still apply for a salary assessment if you can provide certified copies of your qualifications. You will receive an interim salary assessment based on these, but you will need to provide your teacher registration to complete your assessment. |
| 3 |
Overseas teacher registration number, start and expiry dates (if applicable) |
|
| 4 |
Ministry of Education (MoE) number
|
This is your personal number issued by MoE, if your school hasn't provided your MoE number yet, you can still submit a salary assessment.
|
| 5 |
IRD number |
Your NZ tax number (not compulsory). |
| 6 |
Email address of your school's principal and payroll administrator |
This is where your application will be sent for checking, certifying and approving, before it is sent to Education Payroll for processing. |
| 7 |
Evidence of your qualifications |
This could be certificates, academic records or transcripts (if you hold a NZ Bachelor of Education).

| 8 |
Evidence of previous relevant employment |
Statements of service are evidence of previous relevant teaching or non-teaching employment. When it isn't possible to get a statement of service, other evidence can be accepted.
Paid employment in a NZ state or state integrated school does not require a statement of service as it will already be recorded in the school's payroll.
