Description

Unlock the future of payroll with our exclusive webinar on the most significant Holidays Act reforms in 20 years—simplifying calculations and cutting costs for your business!

Prepare for the most significant Holidays Act reforms for the last 20 years.

Changes are underway for the Holidays Act 2003, with reforms aimed at simplifying payroll calculations and reducing costs for employers.

Join our webinar to explore how these proposed reforms could impact your business, particularly when calculating staff entitlements for holidays and leave.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

• Key policy decisions outlined in Cabinet documents related to the draft Bill.
• Briefings from MBIE shared with the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety.

Note: The draft Bill is currently only available to selected parties.

By attending, you’ll learn how to:

• Navigate the new rules and definitions for determining, calculating, and paying leave entitlements.
• Ensure accurate payroll calculations to avoid penalties for mistakes under proposed legislation.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Attendees will identify key changes expected under the Holidays Act Reforms, including:

• Pro-rating sick leave that reflects the proportion of hours an employee works.
• Streamlined leave calculations so employers would not have to access data on daily work hours.
• Clearer annual leave accrual based on a weeks-based accrual system for simpler processing.
• Clear criteria for Pay-as-you-Go eligibility for annual leave.
• Focus on full pay periods in 13-week reference periods.

Attendees will be able to prepare payroll and HR for likely changes to holidays legislation to correctly calculate entitlements and payroll compliance.

This webinar is most suited to professional advisors, payroll and human resources professionals, administrators, business owners, and managers with HR responsibilities. This webinar is designed for those who handle or oversee leave requests, payroll administration, business operations, or provide advice on holiday legislation.
