Changes to the rules around leave will be revealed today. 

The Government is announcing their overhaul of the 2003 Holidays Act, which includes annual, sick, and bereavement leave regulations. 

Employers and Manufacturers Association's Alan McDonald told Mike Hosking hourly accrual of leave is expected to come in. 

He says this will simplify processes and take the sting out of the back-pay issue employers have at the moment. 

McDonald says the overhaul is a long time coming, and while there may be some political tradeoff, both employers and employees will benefit.
