100% Holidays Act compliant

Most leave software gets NZ wrong

The Holidays Act requires leave in weeks. It requires OWD and ADP comparisons. It requires rolling 52-week calculations. If your software was built for Australia, it's doing none of this correctly.

Leave payouts you never have to second-guess

  • Every leave payout is calculated correctly — OWD vs ADP, automatically compared
  • Public holiday pay for variable-hours staff is right every time
  • Your accountant sees matching balances in Xero without a reconciliation call
  • Long-tenured employee resignations don't trigger a compliance panic

Leave errors compound with every pay run

A single miscalculated leave balance, compounded over years of service, can result in back payments of tens of thousands of dollars — plus penalties up to $20,000 per breach.
