New Zealand rules

What Rosie enforces on a New Zealand roster.

These are Rosie’s starting settings for New Zealand: the same values it checks every shift against, not a summary of them. Where a value comes from the law, the source is linked. Your agreements may be stricter than the law, so you can set your own maximum hours and minimum rest between shifts, rules for each employment type, and weekend and public holiday pay rates.
Rest and meal breaks
Two 10-minute paid rest breaks and a 30-minute unpaid meal break in an 8-hour day.10m from 2h 30m over 4h 10m over 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

Straight answers

Rosters in New Zealand, answered.

  • Is Rosie available in New Zealand?

    Yes. Rosie knows New Zealand's employment rules for breaks, leave and young workers, and prices in NZD. It runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to install.

  • How much does Rosie cost in NZD?

    Rosie is $49 a month (NZD) for up to 25 staff, then $1.50 a month for each extra staff member. That's one plan with everything in it: Rosie writing the roster, the staff app, availability, leave, shift swaps, timesheets and Xero. Prices include GST.

  • Can Rosie handle New Zealand employment rules?

    Yes. Rosie knows the break, rest and young-worker rules for New Zealand. You can set your own maximum hours and minimum rest between shifts, rules for each employment type, and weekend and public holiday pay rates. Rosie checks the roster against them before you send it out.

  • How does Rosie write the roster?

    You tell it how many people you need on each shift, and who can work which roles and when. Rosie then works out who can work each shift, keeping to your rules and sharing the hours fairly. You check the result, drag anything you want to change, and send it out.

  • Is there a free trial?

    Yes. Rosie is free for 30 days, with no card needed, and you get everything during the trial. That's long enough to run two full fortnightly pay cycles before you decide.

  • Can my team see the roster on their phones?

    Yes. Staff get the Rosie app, where they see their shifts, ask for time off, swap shifts and clock in and out.

  • Does Rosie integrate with Xero?

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