Rostering, timesheets and daily ops, ready for New Zealand
Sign up with your NZ mobile number and run your team the way New Zealand actually works: Matariki and anniversary days, Mondayisation done per staff member, IRD and KiwiSaver capture, and a wage and time records export for the six-year record-keeping duty.
What Shiftbreeze does for NZ teams
The features below support Holidays Act compliance and NZ record keeping. Your payroll software stays in charge of the final pay run.
NZ staff records, properly validated
Staff profiles capture the IRD number (checked against the IR checksum, so typos are caught at entry), KiwiSaver provider and contribution rate, IR330 tax codes and the NZ bank account format. Digital onboarding collects it all from the staff member before their first shift.
Public holidays done the NZ way
Every national day is built in, Matariki included, plus regional anniversary days scoped per venue so your Auckland site and your Christchurch site each get the right day. Mondayisation is handled properly: staff who worked the actual weekend date keep that day, everyone else gets the Monday, and nobody gets both.
Break guidelines at roster time
As you build a shift, Shiftbreeze shows the rest and meal breaks the shift length calls for, with rest breaks treated as paid and the meal break as unpaid. It is guidance shown where you need it, while you roster, and it never blocks a save.
Wage and time records (NZ) export
A dedicated Wage and time records (NZ) CSV export, one line per pay category with subtotals per person and public holidays marked, built to support the six-year record-keeping duty under the Employment Relations Act 2000 and Holidays Act 2003.
GPS clock-in and tablet kiosk
Staff clock in from their phone with GPS capture, or from a shared tablet kiosk at the venue with a PIN. Timesheets show where each punch happened, so approvals take seconds.
Honest payroll hand-off
Approved hours export as CSV files built for payroll hand-off. A direct push into Xero Payroll NZ is not available yet, so Shiftbreeze pairs with the payroll software you already run rather than pretending to replace it.
One flat price, every feature
No tiers, no per-module fees, no base fee. One honest note: billing is currently in Australian dollars.
Per active staff member, per month. 7-day free trial, no credit card, no lock-in.
Billing is currently in Australian dollars. Every feature is included from day one: rostering, timesheets, GPS clock-in, the tablet kiosk, checklists, stock takes, cash counts and the NZ exports. Archived staff never count toward your bill.

Prices as at September 2026, as published at droppah.com/nz/pricing, rostermates.com/nz/pricing and on PayHero's pricing page (payhero.co.nz). Each vendor prices differently and figures may change; check their sites for current details. PayHero is payroll software rather than a rostering product, shown here because Shiftbreeze's exports are built to pair with payroll software like it. Shiftbreeze billing is currently in Australian dollars.
