Annniversary days are recognised on different dates in different regions of New Zealand, and setting the correct one for your employee means you can correctly record the public holiday on the right day for their region.

You can read about anniversary days on the Employment NZ website here: Public holidays and anniversary dates.

Set your employee's region

  1. Select Employees, then select the employee's name

  2. Select the 'Details' tab, then select Tagsets on the menu.

  3. Click the arrow next to NZ Holidays and choose the correct region for your employee.

  4. Click the Save button at the top of the screen.
