How many vacations days do people get in New Zealand?

Xavier asked:


I might be going there for a couple of years to work, and I was wondering legally how many vacations days per year do people get in New Zealand? Is it 10 business days?

   vacations

   there are 11 statutory holidays:
   jan 1
   jan 2 (new years day)
   feb 14 (waitangi day)
   april (second weekend, fri, sun mon: easter)
   april 25 (anzac day)
   june 6 (queens birthday)
   oct? (labour day, it varies)
   dec 25
   dec 26 (christmas)

   and each province has a stat day too, apart from that new zealand now has four weeks annual leave that equals 8% of your annual pay.

   all up thats up to 11 stat days and 20 working days a years. (the stat day may fall in the weekend and only a few are transferred to the closest mon or fri)

   hope that helps

   Yes, the statutory holidays that were mentioned are paid. We have just recently moved from three weeks vacation to four weeks vacation per year. Stats are on top of these four weeks.
