3. The married rate of NZS is currently just minimally over 65% of the average wage. The average ordinary time weekly wage measure comes from the Statistics New Zealand Quarterly Employment Survey (QES). The QES is designed to measure quarterly estimates of change and levels of average hourly and average weekly (pre-tax) wages, average weekly paid hours, and the number of filled jobs. QES statistics are derived quarterly from approximately 19,000 surveyed business locations in a range of industries and locations throughout New Zealand. Information relates to the pay week ending on, or immediately before, the 20th of the middle month of the quarter (i.e. February, May, August and November). Average ordinary time earnings include all shift, penal and other allowances, bonuses, paid leave, and commissions earned in the survey pay week
