Commonly perceived as lacking crucial clarity, some employers have found themselves in hot water after misinterpreting regulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">To tackle the ambiguity issues, the Government created the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.govt.nz\/bill\/government\/2026\/259\/en\/latest\/#LMS1526654\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Employment Leave Bill<\/a>, which proposes <strong>repealing the Holidays Act completely and replacing it with a new Employment Leave Act<\/strong>. This Bill includes new guidelines around leave and pay, and has just passed in Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons has-custom-font-size has-paragraph-2-m-font-size is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-link is-style-link--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-btn-brand-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"#form\"><strong><strong>Download the factsheet by filling in the form on the right.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/holidays-act-preview-1024x819.webp\" alt=\"Preview of holidays act factsheet\" class=\"wp-image-55919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/holidays-act-preview-1024x819.webp 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/holidays-act-preview-300x240.webp 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/holidays-act-preview-768x614.webp 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/holidays-act-preview-440x352.webp 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/holidays-act-preview.webp 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-2-xl-font-size\">Why the Holidays Act is changing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The Holidays Act has been in place for a controversial 22 years. The legislation, which covers employee leave entitlements and leave pay, should ideally give employers guidelines to work from. The resounding feedback is that these guidelines have proven to be anything but clear, leading to many employers getting in hot water after incorrectly interpreting the rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Errors in compliance can have a huge impact on a company\u2019s bottom line. That\u2019s why Kiwi businesses have been calling out for changes that can remove that ambiguity and help them make the right choices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-3-l-font-size\">Key criticisms of the existing system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">So what makes the Act difficult to understand? There are a few key complaints that often appear when the Holidays Act is being discussed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-4-m-font-size\">The many leave calculations&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Ordinary Weekly Pay (OWP), Average Weekly Earnings (AWE), Relevant Daily Pay (RDP)\u2026 calculating leave pay in New Zealand can sometimes feel like you\u2019re only communicating in acronyms. The way that leave is calculated varies across different types of leave and for different types of employees. If you\u2019re trying to figure out definitions like OWP or AWE, you\u2019ll also need to do separate calculations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">In dreaded situations like deciding on an Otherwise Working Day for casual employees, the rules also tell you that you need to come up with your own interpretation based on a number of factors. Not ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">That\u2019s why we created <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/holiday-pay\/\">a factsheet to explain the types of calculations<\/a> \u2013 there\u2019s lots to understand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-4-m-font-size\">So many businesses are being caught out<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Many businesses have found themselves to be non-compliant when it comes to the Holidays Act. It\u2019s not been unusual in the last few years to see announcements from organisations like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/business\/bunnings-to-pay-back-staff-11m-to-comply-with-holidays-act\/ZEUEG6JQQZ6QXLDF75G3YZFSDY\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bunnings<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fultonhogan.com\/news-and-resources\/holidays-act-remediation-nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fulton Hogan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1news.co.nz\/2024\/08\/07\/mcdonalds-starts-payouts-over-holiday-act-miscalculations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">McDonalds<\/a> and even Government entities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnz.co.nz\/news\/national\/377269\/mbie-pays-1-point-9m-back-to-employees-left-out-of-pocket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MBIE<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acc.co.nz\/newsroom\/stories\/holidays-act-remediation-payments-to-current-and-former-employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACC<\/a>, stating that they\u2019ve discovered errors in their leave payments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">These errors have been expensive. Health New Zealand (aka Te Whatu Ora) revealed that they\u2019d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tewhatuora.govt.nz\/for-health-professionals\/employment-relations\/holidays-act-remediation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">incorrectly paid the leave<\/a> of around 90,000 current employees and 130,000 former employees. To date, Health NZ have made remediation payments of over $544.2 million.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">It appears that these mistakes haven\u2019t been done maliciously. When non-compliance is this widespread, there\u2019s clearly been a lot of confusion around the Holidays Act guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-4-m-font-size\">Employees are in the dark too&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">It\u2019s not just employers scratching their heads. Employees find it challenging to understand what they\u2019re legally entitled to, leading to a lack of confidence in the leave pay they\u2019re receiving. As the last few months have shown, it could also take employees years to discover that they\u2019ve been incorrectly compensated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-2-xl-font-size\">What is the Employment Leave Bill?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The Employment Leave Bill is a government bill that replaces the Holidays Act 2003 with the new Employment Leave Act. It lists in full the proposed changes to leave entitlements, payment calculations and record-keeping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The idea behind this Bill is to establish a clearer framework around managing leave, so there\u2019s less confusion for employers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-2-xl-font-size\">Overview of the Holidays Act reform timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The Employment Leave Bill received royal assent on 6 August 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workplace Relations and Safety Minister, Brooke Van Velden, has said that there will now be a 24-month implementation period. <strong>With that in mind, we can expect to see the Employment Leave Act come into force in August 2028.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only exceptions to this implementation period will be the changes relating to parental leave, which will come into force on 1 July 2027. The primary and secondary education sector will also not be covered by the Employment Leave Act until 6 August 2036.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">This 24-month gap may seem like a long time but these changes are complex. Employer and payroll providers will need to make significant changes to their process and payroll systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-2-xl-font-size\">What\u2019s included in the Employment Leave Bill?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The first of the changes set out in the Employment Leave Bill is arguably the biggest \u2013 goodbye, Holidays Act 2003; hello, Employment Leave Act. This new Act will completely replace the old one with a raft of different guidelines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">As for what the Employment Leave Act will entail, here\u2019s a top-level <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.govt.nz\/bill\/government\/2026\/259\/en\/latest\/#LMS1526654\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overview of the Bill<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-3-l-font-size\">Annual leave: accrual, use, cash-up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Accrual:<\/strong> Annual leave will be earned from day one of employment, in direct proportion to the contracted hours worked. It will accrue at a rate of 0.0769 hours (4\/52) per contracted hour. Accrual continues during paid leave and when on parental, jury and volunteer leave. However, leave won\u2019t be accrued when the employee is receiving accident compensation or on any unpaid leave. When an employee&#8217;s hours change, the accrued annual leave hours will be &#8216;banked&#8217; and not automatically scale to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Use:<\/strong> Employees will be able to use accrued leave hours to take any part of a day off work. Leave will be taken in hours, as opposed to days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Cash-up:<\/strong> An employee will be able to request to cash-up 25% of their annual leave as of their last 12-month employment anniversary in each 12-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-3-l-font-size\">Sick leave, bereavement &amp; family violence leave changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Sick leave:<\/strong> Sick leave will be earned from day one of employment, in direct proportion to contracted hours worked. It will accrue at a rate of 0.0385 hours (2\/52) per contracted hour. A cap of 160 hours will stop new accrual until the employee has used some of their stored entitlement. Employees will also be able to use accrued sick leave hours to take any part of a day off work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Bereavement and family violence leave:<\/strong> All employees will be able to access these leave types from day one (currently after 6 months). They will remain days-based entitlements, but workers will be able to take part days of leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Leave for additional\/casual hours:<\/strong> Casual employees and employees who work extra hours on top of contracted hours will not accrue annual or sick leave for that time. Instead, they will receive a leave compensation payment set at 12.5% of their ordinary hourly wage rate, paid at the time the hours are worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-3-l-font-size\">Public \/ alternative holidays &amp; \u201cotherwise working day\u201d rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>\u201cOtherwise working day\u201d rule:<\/strong> A new clear test will be used to determine whether an employee would have worked on the day. The test is based on whether the employee has worked 50% or more of the relevant days (e.g. Mondays) in the preceding 13 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Alternative holidays:<\/strong> Employees will accrue alternative holiday hours at a rate of one hour for every hour worked (or is on call) on a public holiday that is an otherwise working day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay calculations &amp; exclusions (bonus, commission)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Pay calculations:<\/strong> The same hourly leave pay rate will be used for all types of leave. It will be based on an employee&#8217;s base wage for the day of leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Exclusions (bonus, commission):<\/strong> Other components of pay, like bonuses, commissions and variable allowances, will not be included in the hourly leave pay rate. Fixed allowances (such as an accommodation allowance) will continue to be paid in full during leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Parental leave pay:<\/strong> The &#8220;override&#8221; to normal payment rules for annual leave taken after parental leave will be removed. When annual leave is taken after returning to work, it will be paid at the same rate as any other leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What employers should do now to prepare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The first thing is to be across the changes \u2013 so if you\u2019re on this page, you\u2019re making a good start.
