Summary

As part of your NZ Holidays Act compliance obligations you are required to come to an agreement with your employee on what genuinely constitutes a working week.

This tab page allows you to record and keep a history of such agreements.

The Definition Of Week can be used to calculate an accurate Holiday Pay rate of payment as well as to calculate an employee leave balances.

Important: Editing/Deleting a record after payment for leave has been made could result in a different leave payment rate. It is recommended to always add a new record if an agreement has changed

Note: The Definition of Week will be disabled for editing if the employee is enabled for workforce management integration. The employee's agreed working week details are sourced from workforce management.

When to add a new record

Each time there is a change to the agreement between you and your employee a new record should be added. With the correct date from which the change become effective.

Editing existing records

Editing of an existing record should really only be used if a mistake in recording the agreement.

If you do edit an existing record you can only change the Total Hours or Total Days.

Deleting existing records

You can only delete the latest record.
