Holidays Act

We're pleased to let you know that we have now completed the detailed review and recalculations for any former employees under the Holidays Act Remediation Project. This means we are ready to move into the next phase, which is remediating those impacted.

Our claims portal will soon open for applications from former employees. If you were employed as a permanent or fixed term employee from 15 May 2018, please complete and submit your completed application via this Portal [add link]. This will allow us to gather the necessary details to be able to process any payment due to you. The Portal is a secure and confidential method of gathering your information and allowing you to track the process of your claim.

As we've worked through this complex review with our independent specialist and the Labour Inspector from MBIE, we've found that the impact of the Holidays Act varies from person to person - depending on individual work history, pay, and leave patterns. For some team members, this may mean a larger amount than expected, some a smaller amount (for instance it may even be a few cents), and for others no repayments are owed. Please know these outcomes reflect each person’s unique circumstances and how the Holidays Act calculations have applied to them. We understand you may have questions about what this means for you. To help, we have updated the attached FAQs document to help answer any questions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we’ve worked through this important project. We are committed to ensuring everyone receives their correct entitlements and that Arvida remains fully compliant with the Holidays Act moving forward.
