Annual Leave E-Guide
Annual Leave
Share on:
Once an employee is entitled to annual leave, holidays can be taken at any time agreed between you as an employer and your employee.
For permanent employees who work the same days or hours every week, on each anniversary of their employment, they will be entitled to four weeks of paid annual holidays. You must pay your employee for an annual holiday before the holiday is taken unless you and your employee agree they can be paid in the next applicable pay run.
If you closedown all or part of your operations (e.g. between Christmas and New Year) and require employees to take annual holidays, you must abide by the Holidays Act 2003 (the Act).
