Prepare your small business for the Employment Leave Act 2026 with ICNZB/NZPPA’s practical, two-hour introductory webinar .
The new Act will affect how employers record working arrangements, manage leave and pay employees. Designed for small business owners, office managers, bookkeepers and anyone responsible for payroll or leave, this webinar explains the changes in clear, everyday language, supported by practical small-business examples.
Learn what the move to hours-based annual and sick leave will mean for your business, how different working arrangements affect leave, and where employment agreements, rosters and everyday processes may need attention. The session will also introduce changes affecting public holidays, final pay and leave compensation payments.
You will explore the questions to ask your payroll provider about system readiness, testing, converting existing leave balances, costs and support. Whether you process payroll yourself or outsource it, understanding your responsibilities will help you make informed decisions.
With the Holidays Act 2003 continuing to apply until the new Act takes effect on 6 August 2028, this session will help you develop a realistic preparation plan. You will leave with an initial action list and a clearer understanding of when specialist advice may be needed.
Join us to understand what is changing and what your small business needs to prepare.
