Employment Hero wasn't built for NZ leave

Crewbase was. See the difference.

100% Holidays Act compliant

The NZ compliance gap in Employment Hero

Employment Hero is an Australian platform. Its leave engine calculates in hours, not weeks. It doesn't handle OWD or ADP the way the Holidays Act requires.

“I found out we'd been underpaying leave for two years when a staff member went to the labour inspectorate. The software we trusted was calculating based on Australian rules. Nobody told us.”
Lisa W.Business Owner, Hamilton Retail Group (24 employees)

Leave calculations you can finally trust

  • Every leave balance is calculated in weeks — as the Holidays Act requires
  • No more spreadsheet workarounds to check your software's maths
  • Your accountant sees correct, reconcilable balances from day one

Every pay run on the wrong software compounds the problem

Leave calculation errors are cumulative. A 5-year employee's balance miscalculated across 130 pay runs doesn't just need correcting — it needs back-paying with interest.
