Employment Leave Act

Employment Leave Act

​

The Government recently announced that the Holidays Act 2003 will be replaced with a new Employment Leave Act, a change strongly supported by iPayroll.

​

Until the Bill has been passed into law, it will be “business as usual” with the current legislation.

​

You can be assured that we are tracking the proposed changes and what this will mean for you, your employees and iPayroll.

​

A 24 month transition period has been confirmed and a summary of the proposed changes can be found here.
