There are 11 public holidays (also known as statutory or stat holidays) provided under the Holidays Act 2003. All employees are entitled to public holiday benefits whether they are casual, fixed-term, part-time or full-time. Public holidays are in addition to annual holidays and there’s no minimum period of time an employee has to be employed to get public holiday benefits.

During a business close-down period
If a business has a close-down period that includes public holidays, for example, over the Christmas and New Year period, then the employee is entitled to a paid public holiday if they would have normally worked on that day if the closedown was not in effect.
During annual holidays
If an employee is on annual leave when there’s a public holiday, they get a paid public holiday if they would have normally worked on that day, and do not lose an annual leave day.
