2025-2026 Holiday Season Checklist
The holiday period can create a perfect storm for employers.
Reduced staffing, payroll deadlines, annual leave requests, public holidays, close-down periods, and rushed handovers can all create confusion if expectations are not clear.
A little planning now can help you avoid January headaches.
Our Holiday Season Checklist helps employers cover the key areas before the break, including:
Leave planning and staff coverage
Payroll cut-offs and processing timelines
Team communication around close-down dates, availability and handovers
Public holiday and alternative day considerations
End-of-year actions to reduce disruption when work starts again
If your business needs support with leave planning, payroll processes or employment documentation, our KonnectHR services can help you get the basics sorted before the holiday rush.
You may also want to review your Payroll support options if your pay cycles, public holiday calculations or processing deadlines need extra attention over the break.
Download the checklist below and use it to finish the year organised, reduce risk, and set your team up for a stronger start to the new year.
