‘Mondayisation’ bill to go ahead

The Holidays Amendment Bill to “Mondayise” Waitangi day and ANZAC day has now been passed into legislation. If either of those days fall on a Saturday or Sunday, which is not otherwise a working day for the employee, then the public holiday will be treated as falling on the following Monday. 

It will not however, have any practical effect until 2015 being the next time that either Waitangi Day or ANZAC Day will fall on a weekend.
