Workforce Management Software New Zealand
Rosters that run on New Zealand time
NZST and NZDT across rosters, clock-ins and reports. Holiday calendars that know Auckland Anniversary from an ordinary Monday. Pay rules flexible enough for your employment agreements, and pay-ready exports your NZ payroll system can import without re-keying. That's rostering software set up for New Zealand.

What's configured for New Zealand
No bolt-on locale pack — time zones, holidays, pay rules and exports are all configurable to the way New Zealand operations actually run.
| Area | How Engage WorkForce handles it for NZ |
|---|---|
| Time zones | Full NZST / NZDT support across rosters, clock-ins, timesheets and reports — staff and managers see shift times in local New Zealand time, daylight saving included. |
| Public holidays | Configurable holiday calendars cover national days and regional anniversary days, applied per site — so the right sites price the right holidays at holiday rates. |
| Pay rules | Loadings, allowances and overtime thresholds are all configurable, so pay templates can mirror the terms of your employment agreements rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model. See rostering for how rules attach to shifts. |
| Holidays Act 2003 | Your payroll system remains the system of record for Holidays Act calculations. Engage WorkForce supports that by handing it clean, rule-applied hours and leave records — accurate inputs, clearly bucketed. |
| Payroll exports | Approved paysheets export as a generic CSV or an iPayroll-format CSV, with earnings, allowances and leave separated for import. More under payroll preparation. |
| Support & demos | Support hours overlap the NZ business day, and demos are scheduled at NZ-friendly times — Melbourne is only two to three hours behind New Zealand. |
Flexible enough for NZ employment agreements
New Zealand pay isn't one rulebook — it's your agreements. Engage WorkForce lets you build pay templates from configurable day rules, time windows, loadings, allowances and overtime thresholds, so the rates that land on a timesheet reflect what you've actually agreed with your people.
- ✓Configurable day and time-window rules — weekends, nights and holidays priced the way your agreements say
- ✓Allowances and overtime thresholds defined per pay template, not hard-coded
- ✓Clean handover to payroll — your payroll applies Holidays Act calculations on top of accurate, rule-applied hours
One flow from the field to your payroll import
Staff clock in and out on the mobile app in local NZ time, with GPS verification. Approved timesheets become pay-ready paysheets automatically — and the same approval drives the customer invoice, so billing never lags behind pay. Explore time & attendance and employee scheduling to see the full chain.
- ✓GPS-verified clock-ins recorded in NZST / NZDT, matched against the roster
- ✓One approval generates the paysheet and the invoice together
- ✓Export and import — generic CSV or iPayroll-format, no re-keying into payroll
Across the Tasman, no friction
