Public holidays seem simple… until it comes to do payroll.
Every year I see businesses lose thousands of dollars—not because they don’t care, but because they misunderstand just one rule.
The biggest mistake?
Assuming your payroll software will just do it all for you. It won’t. If you get otherwise working day wrong, you can end up overpaying, or underpaying your team—or miss alternative holiday entitlements completely. Underpayments are a Holidays Act breach. Overpayments quietly drain your profits.
Getting public holiday pay wrong can result in Backpay liabilities, MBIE investigations and Employee disputes.
I’ve recorded a 25 minute practical public holiday payroll guide that walks you through the three biggest mistakes I see—plus how to fix them. If you want clarity, confidence, and compliant payroll, this is worth your time.
