Notes:

1 Indexes provide an overall measure of changes in salary and ordinary time wage rates, overtime wage rates and all surveyed non-wage labour costs (ie, annual leave and statutory holidays, superannuation, ACC employer premiums, medical insurance, motor vehicles available for private use and low interest loans).

2From 2000 onwards, indexes of non-wage labour costs and all labour costs are available for the June quarter only. Up until the June 1999 quarter, these indexes were released every quarter.
