fee structure

for employers

Mature recruits have the potential to add much to your organisation. At the 40 + Employment Support Trust
we aim to match mature jobseekers to employers.

  • Our jobseeking clients are all aged forty or over
  • They live in the Christchurch area
  • Some are currently out of work, others are seeking new challenges
  • They can offer skills, experience, commitment and a highly-developed work ethic



If you are looking to recruit now or in the future, we can help in the following ways:

Option 1
('VIP Employer' scheme)

For an upfront donation (we suggest $75 per annum), 40+ Employment will advertise your current vacancy and any further vacancies for the current calendar year. We will do our best to satisfy your employment needs.

IN BRIEF: you pay a set amount per year to advertise with us as many times as you like from now to the end of the current year. We will of course do our best to satisfy your requirements, but there is no guarantee.



Option 2
(placement fee)

Fees are chargeable only where we are successful in finding an employee for you. This fee is 1% of the employee’s gross annual salary/wage + GST or $100 + GST – whichever is the greater (temporary employment is by negotiation). This will be invoiced to you on notification of your recruitment of one of our clients and is payable per client recruited. If you are a community organisation or a charitable trust this fee is replaced by a donation.

IN BRIEF: you pay per vacancy, and only if we can fill the position.





Payment Details:

  • pay by direct credit to this Westpac bank a/c: 03 0855 049 3752 00
  • post a cheque to The 40+ Employment Support Trust, PO Box 13-026, Christchurch 8141



Note: Companies can claim a deduction for donations paid to the 40+ Employment Support Trust, so long as the deduction available to the company for donations made to all charitable organisations in that income year does exceed its net income before making the deduction.
