Why this checklist matters
The end of the year can get messy fast.
Leave balances, payroll cut-offs, public holidays, and team communication all happening at once. Without a clear plan, it’s easy for admin errors or miscommunication to slip through, creating unnecessary stress just as everyone is trying to switch off.
This checklist brings together the core HR (no pun intended!), payroll, and people tasks every New Zealand business should work through before heading into the holidays.
Inside the checklist:
Key compliance and admin actions to tick off before the break
Holiday communication essentials so your team knows what to expect
Payroll and leave checks to avoid January headaches
Culture and wellbeing reminders to support a positive finish to the year
Built for SME owners and managers
Designed with busy business owners in mind, this checklist helps you get organised quickly and confidently.
