Annual closedown

If your business has an annual close-down period requiring your employees to take their annual leave or unpaid time off, it's important that you give them at least 14 days notice.

If an employee has been with you for less than a year at the time of the closedown, please contact our Customer Support team on 0800 10 10 38.

Please refer to our annual closedown flowchart to determine whether the closedown provisions apply.

For more information about annual closedowns, we recommend visiting Employment NZ.
