There\u2019s a belief that changes to holiday laws will benefit employers.\xa0

The Government's drafting legislation to change the Holidays Act 2003.\xa0

It'll include proposals to pro-rata sick leave and move annual leave from an entitlement system to one using accrual.\xa0

Employers and Manufacturers' Association's Alan McDonald told Mike Hosking that an accrual system is favoured because a single calculation is needed.\xa0

He says employees will know what they're getting from day one, while employers just have to do the calculation and get it right.\xa0

But Unite Union Assistant Secretary Gerard Hehir says that the changes will affect many Kiwis.\xa0

He says over 40% of employees work part time.\xa0
