@Wibble, some places in NZ still offer overtime, which can make a huge difference to the package if you're expected to work the hours. Where I am it is T1.5 for the first two hours then T2 thereafter, also T2 after lunch on Sat, all Sun and public holidays - and on-call allowances go on top of that with minimum 2 hours at T1.5 on a callout. Also many places augment the Super (ie employer contributions to Kiwisaver above the compulsory 1 percent) and/or offer discounts or group rates on private medical insurance. You should also look at how many paid sick days they allow each year and whether they have compulsory shut down periods (eg. where I work it is compulsory to take annual leave for the non-statutory days between Xmas and new year). It doesn't all come down to salary in NZ - that's just a generalisation from your employer(s).
