New Zealand rules

What Rosie enforces on a New Zealand roster.

These are the shipped defaults for New Zealand — the same values the scheduler checks every shift against, not a marketing summary of them. Every one is editable per organisation and per location, because your site agreement may be stricter than the statute.
Rest and meal breaks
10m at 2h 30m at 4h 10m at 6hEmployment Relations Act 2000 s 69ZD (entitlement), s 69ZC (definition of work period), s 69ZE (timing), ss 69ZEA-69ZEB (exemptions and compensatory measures), s 69ZF (penalty)
Minimum rest between shifts
10hRosie’s default — no statutory minimum
Maximum consecutive days

Young-worker bands1
2 bands, from 21:00Rosie’s default — no statutory minimum

  1. 1 New Zealand does set a youth night limit — Health and Safety at Work (General Risk and Workplace Management) Regulations 2016 reg 48 bars under-16s from work between 22:00 and 06:00 — and Rosie defaults one hour stricter than that. Australia has no federal youth curfew at all: child employment is state and territory law, and neither MA000004 nor MA000009 contains one. All of these are editable per organisation.
  2. 2 The UK runs Statutory Sick Pay rather than a day entitlement.

Straight answers

Rosters in New Zealand, answered.

  • Is Rosie available in New Zealand?

    Yes. Rosie ships New Zealand's employment rules — breaks, leave entitlements and young-worker limits — and prices in NZD. It runs in a browser, so there is nothing to install.

  • How much does Rosie cost in NZD?

    $39 a month (NZD) for the roster — AI auto-rostering included, and that covers your first 25 people. Timesheets, leave and the staff app are $3 per person a month on top; kiosks, break compliance and multi-site are $5 per person.

  • Can Rosie handle New Zealand employment rules?

    Rosie supports configurable compliance rules including maximum hours, minimum rest periods between shifts, and fair shift distribution. You can set these up to match your local employment requirements.

  • How does the AI rostering work?

    Our AI uses constraint-based optimisation to build rosters in seconds. It considers staff availability, skills, location requirements, and your custom rules to generate the best possible roster. You can then fine-tune with drag-and-drop.

  • Is there a free trial?

    Yes — every plan starts with a 30-day free trial, full access, no credit card. That's long enough to run two full pay cycles before you decide.

  • Can my team access rosters on their phones?

    Absolutely. Rosie works on any device — desktop, tablet, or mobile. Staff can view their rosters, request time off, swap shifts, and clock in/out from their phones.

  • Does Rosie integrate with Xero?

    Yes. Xero payroll sync is included from the Team plan up, so approved timesheets go straight through to your pay run. You can also export a payroll-ready file for MYOB, Smartly, PayHero and iPayroll.
