Mondayised Waitangi and ANZAC Day
July 10th, 2014
The Holidays (Full Recognition of Waitangi Day and ANZAC Day) Amendment Act 2013 came into force on 1 January 2014 making these public holidays “Mondayised” when they fall on a weekend.
When Waitangi Day or ANZAC Day fall on a Saturday or Sunday the following rule must be applied:
- For employees who would not work on the Saturday or Sunday, the public holiday must be treated as falling on the following Monday.
- For employees who would work on the Saturday or Sunday, the public holiday must be treated as falling on that day.
The first occurrence will be ANZAC Day when it falls on Saturday, 25 April 2015.
Observation of Waitangi Day and ANZAC Day will still occur on the actual date.

Testimonials
It’s so nice to have a payroll service where the staff actually knows who you are when you call them.
As a small company there is no way that we could undertake the payroll function in-house. Rocket Payrolls saves us time and money.
We changed to Rocket Payrolls many years ago after using in-house software and other outsource providers as we tried to get the right level of service. Using Rocket Payrolls was one of the best business decisions we’ve made.
The level of accuracy offered is high, yet the costs are surprisingly lower than others in the industry.
The staff are extremely knowledgeable and it’s refreshing to talk to someone that knows their payroll system and how current legislation is applied.
We have used the Rocket Payrolls service for over 20 years. Our organisation is delighted with the service we have received. Whatever our questions have been they have always been answered professionally, efficiently and quickly. We feel it is excellent value for money.
Rocket’s service is simply excellent. A quick phone call and any queries I have are answered promptly.
Having someone who is understanding and patient in answering my questions is very important to me. I would definitely recommend Rocket Payrolls for payroll services.
