100% Holidays Act compliant

Your leave calculations are probably wrong

If your HR software was built for Australian payroll rules, it's calculating NZ leave incorrectly for variable-hours staff. Most business owners don't find out until an employee disputes a payout — or worse, an audit.

227,000+NZ employees have received back payments for incorrect leave calculationsMBIE Holidays Act remediation data

We've been solving this for a decade

Built by the team behind PayHero's compliance engine, Crewbase exists because NZ businesses deserve software that calculates leave the way the Holidays Act actually requires.

Leave in weeks, not hours

The Holidays Act calculates leave in weeks. Crewbase does too — unlike platforms that convert from hours and get it wrong.

OWD and ADP, automated

Otherwise working days and average daily pay — calculated automatically across rolling 52-week periods.

Xero-native

Bi-directional sync means your leave balances match your accounting records without manual reconciliation.

Getting compliant takes less time than your next payroll run

1

Connect your Xero payroll

Link your Xero account and Crewbase imports your employee data and pay history automatically.

2

Review your leave balances

Crewbase recalculates leave balances using the actual Holidays Act formula — see where your current numbers differ.

3

Run payroll with confidence

From your next pay run, leave accruals, public holiday pay, and payouts are calculated correctly — automatically.

“Setting up Crewbase took less time than our Friday standup. Connected Xero, imported our team, and the first employment agreement was generated before lunch.”
James L.Founder, Tauranga Digital Co (12 employees)
