New Zealand Public Holidays Calendar 2017
Our New Zealand holidays are listed below so that you can check if there will be any delivery.
Please Note: Monday-ised Anzac Day is in effect this year. Anzac Day falls on a Saturday this year, and so the following Monday is a day off work.
Monday-ised
As of January the 1st 2014, Anzac Day and Waitangi day became "Mondayised" which means if they fall on a weekend, the following Monday becomes a day off work. These holidays will still be commemorated/celebrated on their actual holiday date.
New Year's Day & The Day After New Year's Day
These two holidays are always celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of January, however, if one or both of these holidays falls on a weekend, the holiday is actually observed on the next available working weekday.
For example, in 2012 New Year's Day landed on a Sunday. The day the holiday was observed couldn't be Monday as this was already taken up by the Day after New Year's Day holiday so instead it was pushed to Tuesday the 3rd of January.
So if you normally worked on a Sunday, does that mean you would've gotten Sunday off *and* the following Tuesday? No, sorry I'm afraid not. If you were scheduled to work that day then you get that day off and no more.
Anniversary Days
Most provincial regions have a designated date and this date sometimes falls on a weekend. If the anniversary day happens to land on a weekend, it is shuffled to a Monday or a Friday.
Waitangi Day
Waitangi Day is on the 6th of February every year. Waitangi day is now "Mondayised". If it lands on a weekend it will be celebrated on that day, and you get the following Monday off work.
Easter
Good Friday and Easter Monday.
Easter Tuesday
Is this really a public holiday? Well, not really, but if you are at school or happen to work in the education sector (includes universities) you'll know all about it. They get the day after Easter Monday off as well.
ANZAC Day
The only day worth getting up at the crack of dawn for. ANZAC day is the 25th of April every year. It is also now "Mondayised". If it falls on a weekend it will be commemorated on that day, and you get the following Monday off work.
Queen's Birthday
Queen's Birthday holiday is the 1st Monday in June.
Labour Day
This non-labouring holiday is the 4th Monday in October so you'll always find it on a Monday.
Christmas Day & Boxing Day
These holidays follow exactly the same rules as New Year's Day and the Day after New Year's Day. In fact, because they are exactly 7 days apart whatever rules end up applying to Christmas, you'll find the same will happen to New Year's Day.
Daylight Saving
Daylight Saving starts in Spring on the last Sunday in September so we can get a little more sun. Clocks get put forward from 2.00am to 3.00am so remember the season and "Spring forward". Daylight Saving ends in Autumn (otherwise known a Fall) on the first Sunday in April. Clocks get put back from 3.00am to 2.00am so again, remember the season and "Fall back"
Please Note: Monday-ised Anzac Day is in effect this year. Anzac Day falls on a Saturday this year, and so the following Monday is a day off work.
