Gain a practical foundation in two of the most important new concepts under the proposed Employment Leave Act by attending both NZPPA webinars. This package provides 4 hours of focused training on notional rosters and the new calculations and statutory tests that will underpin leave processing.

Who Should Attend

Payroll practitioners, payroll managers, and anyone responsible for payroll compliance or preparing for the proposed Employment Leave Act.

Purpose

Together, these webinars give payroll practitioners a clear practical foundation in two critical areas of the new legislation.

The first webinar explains notional rosters — when they are required, how they differ from employment agreements and operational work rosters, and why accurate working-pattern information is essential for leave processing.

The second webinar introduces the principal new calculations and statutory tests that will underpin leave processing under the hours-based framework, including accrual, leave taken, public holidays, alternative leave and the Leave Compensation Payment.

By attending both webinars, participants will understand both the working-pattern information payroll needs and the calculations and tests that must be applied to process leave correctly.

Package Overview

Webinar One – Notional Rosters under the Employment Leave Act
This introductory webinar covers:

• What a notional roster is and when it may be required
• How notional rosters differ from employment agreements and work rosters
• Information expected in a notional roster
• Effect on annual leave, sick leave, bereavement and family violence leave
• Relationship with public holidays
• Keeping a notional roster current and common payroll risks

Webinar Two – Introduction to the New Calculations and Statutory Tests
This introductory webinar covers:

• The new calculation framework and hours classifications
• Annual leave and sick leave accrual calculations
• The Leave Compensation Payment
• Tests for determining when leave may be taken
• Calculating leave taken in hours and part-days
• Otherwise-working-day tests, public-holiday hours and alternative leave
• Introduction to the common leave hourly rate and qualifying fixed allowances

Learning Outcomes

By completing both webinars, participants will be able to:

1. Explain the meaning and purpose of a notional roster and identify when one may be required.
2. Understand how notional roster information affects leave entitlements, deductions and payments.
3. Identify the principal new payroll calculations introduced by the Employment Leave Act.
4. Understand the purpose of the statutory tests that must be completed before leave is processed.
5. Recognise the payroll significance of standard, additional and casual hours.
6. Begin preparing the working-pattern information, records and system considerations needed for the new framework.

Practical Outcome

Participants will finish the programme with a solid practical foundation in two of the most important new concepts under the Employment Leave Act: the working-pattern information required through notional rosters, and the calculations and statutory tests that payroll must apply.

Together, these webinars provide essential awareness and preparation before progressing to more advanced technical training or implementation activities.
All attendees will receive comprehensive webinar notes together with access to the recordings of both webinars after the events.

*Content may be updated as further legislative changes become known.
