OPENING NOVEMBER 2026
The Employment Leave Act is coming
AND You don't have to figure it all out on your own
The Employment Leave Act 2026 will replace the Holidays Act and change how leave is earned and paid between 2027 and 2029.
I'm opening this membership to walk you through it, one practical step at a time, with people doing the same job as you - payroll professionals, business owners, accountants, bookkeepers, VA's, HR managers.
You will be the first to know by joining. Spaces are limited, and if you decide it is for you, you also get our early-bird pricing.
Join the waitlist and be the first to hear about it. Its free to join.

Why join us
Di Crawford-Errington
I'm Di and over the last 24 years have supported hundreds of NZ businesses through payroll, with audits, system setups, legislative changes, training, and mentoring.
I have also been here before, with the implementation of the Holidays Act in 2004, and I understand the challenges changes in legislation brings.
I created this membership because there is not a lot of practical hands-on support for those in the payroll trenches, and I also know legislation is hard to get your head around and make sense of. With a complete re write of the NZ Leave legislation, there is going to be a lot to work through and changes to implement before go live August 2028.
This is here for you so you don't have do it alone.
