New Zealand's new leave bill, introduced March 9, 2026, replaces the 2003 Holidays Act with an hourly accrual system starting day one, with public feedback ongoing.
New Zealand's proposed Employment Leave Bill, introduced March 9, 2026, aims to replace the Holidays Act 2003 with a new hourly leave system that begins accrual from day one of employment.
The bill introduces standard, additional, and casual work hour categories, with leave paid hourly and compensation payments for additional hours.
It includes a process to address past underpayments and would take effect two years after Royal assent, except for the state schooling sector, which would transition 10 years later.
Public feedback is currently being sought.
