In 2005, the Department of Labour commissioned an independent evaluation of the implementation of the Holidays Act 2003 to find out which parts were being clearly communicated, where more guidance was needed and about specific provisions employers had trouble implementing.
The evaluation showed that the Act was understood and implemented smoothly in the majority of workplaces involved in the study. However, feedback was also gathered on areas of the Act where the Department could provide more guidance.
As a result of these findings, the Department has developed additional information and guidance for employers and employees, including the ‘ask a question’ feature on the website.
An online tool to help employers and employees work out leave entitlements is also available.
An review of how the Act is working is scheduled to take place in 2009.
