This guide deals with all the implications of the Holidays Act 2003 and more. It addresses the right to, and payment of, annual holidays, public holidays, sick leave and bereavement leave. The Act is set out, section by section, with commentary, model clauses and cross-referencing as required. The new edition incorporates recent legislative changes introduced by the National-led Government. The question-and-answer section of the book provides practical answers to employers' most commonly asked questions about leave and holidays. In addition, there is detailed commentary on parental leave and other leave to which employees may be entitled, including study leave, jury service leave and employment relations leave. This book is a must-have for HR professionals, payroll managers and any general manager with responsibility for staff. It is also an indispensable aid for legal practitioners, accountants and advisers dealing with employment law.
