Holidays Act 2003 + 6 months of ELA Insider

Course Summary

The NZ Holidays Act 2003 is our key legislation for leave. This online, self-paced training course is for employers, payroll practitioners and HR seeking to master the complexities of employee entitlements and leave management in New Zealand. It's a deep dive into the legislative framework, practical applications and best practices for managing employee rights under the Holidays Act, leave types and payroll processes.

Key topics include gross earnings, leave acronyms, sick leave calculations, bereavement leave, family violence leave, public holiday payments, annual leave and final pays. You'll also learn to work through complex scenarios, like annual leave after parental leave.

Plus six months of ELA Insider

The Holidays Act is the law you're paying leave under today, and it stays that way until the Employment Leave Act takes over on 6 August 2028. ELA Insider gets you ready for the change: Weekly Insights from me, the monthly Payroll Insider Live with Q&A, and the ELA Insider Hub community, where you can ask your questions.
