How do I apply for a salary assessment?

You'll need to complete a Salary assessment for teachers form (EP7t) to apply for a salary assessment.

Before applying, please gather your supporting documents and information (see the table below) and then go to Salary assessment forms to download the EP7t.




1 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.
2 Overseas teacher registration number, start and expiry dates (if applicable)
3 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.
4 IRD number Your NZ tax number (not compulsory).
5 Evidence of your qualifications This could be certificates, academic records or transcripts (if you hold a NZ Bachelor of Education).

6 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.
