Event Description:
Holidays Act reform – What Employers Need to Know Now
The Employment Leave Act 2026 is here and set to replace the Holidays Act. It’s the largest overhaul of New Zealand’s employment law around leave in decades. With the effective law change of 6 August 2028 still some way off, it’s important for all employers to understand the new framework, what lies ahead and what steps need to be taken ahead of its implementation.
Join Andrea from DTI Lawyers and LesleyAnn from People in Mind for a practical, plain-English introduction to the new Act. We’ll unpack the key changes, talk about the impacts for employers and payroll, and share our advice on what businesses should (and shouldn’t) be doing in transitioning to the new legislation.
No need to panic. Come along, get informed and start getting ready.
