Salary assessment forms

From September 2023, teachers, principals and administrators will be able to apply for salary assessments online. 

For more information about the salary assessment application portal go to EdPay | Tools to help you | A-Z of payroll | Salary assessment

If you cannot access the portal, EP7t forms are still accepted for salary assessment applications.

Additional qualifications, service increment allowance and childcare credits will still need to be applied for with a form.  See links to forms below.  

About the forms

Forms should be opened and completed using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. If you use other software, some of the information you have entered may not be visible to the Salary Assessment Unit. This will result in the Salary Assessment Unit returning the form to you to complete and submit again.

To avoid this, download Adobe Reader http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Remember to choose the operating system you use (Windows 7, XP, Vista, Mac OS 10) before downloading Adobe Reader.

For more information about completing our forms as Smart Forms, refer to the Smart Forms page.

IMPORTANT: Before filling in the form, save it to your desktop or other location on your computer. This ensures that the information you type in the form will be saved.

These forms must be submitted via email from an authorised user within a school. Please email the form and any supporting certified documents to SalaryAssessment@novopay.govt.nz.
