229: Temporary manager

You could also call this:

"Appointing a temporary manager when your regular manager is away"

If you are a licensee and your manager is ill, absent, dismissed, or resigned, you can appoint a temporary manager. This person does not need to have a manager's certificate at the time of appointment. You must make sure the temporary manager applies for a manager's certificate within two working days of being appointed. If they do this, they are treated as if they have a manager's certificate until their application is decided, for the purposes of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, which you can find more information about on the New Zealand legislation website. If the temporary manager does not apply for a certificate within two working days, or if their application is refused, you must stop employing them as a manager.
