Webinar

Beyond the Holidays Act:
Preparing for New Zealand's
Employment Leave Act

Thursday, 1 October 2026 | 12:00 p.m. - 12:45 p.m. NZDT

New Zealand organisations are entering a significant period of change

HR, payroll, and operational leaders are being asked to improve productivity and employee experience while managing growing workforce complexity and preparing for a major shift in employment leave legislation.

With the Employment Leave Bill passing its final reading, the Holidays Act 2003 is set to be replaced by a new hours-based leave framework. For employers, the focus is now shifting from understanding what might change to preparing their people, processes, and payroll systems for the transition.

In this webinar, we'll explore what this changing landscape means for New Zealand organisations and hear how Trojan Holdings simplified its people operations with Dayforce. We'll also show how bringing payroll, HR, and workforce management together in one platform can improve visibility, reduce manual processes and give organisations greater confidence as they prepare for the Employment Leave Bill framework.
