@nzstuff: The Employment Leave Bill has passed its third and final reading, meaning the way you accrue annual and sick leave will soon change. Stuff's Karanama Ruru explains how it will work. #nz #nznews #nzpolitics #nzstuff
My contracted hours are 41.5 hours per week, did the maths and comes out to just over 14 days sick leave per year, is that accurate? Also is the use sick leave by hour rather than by day apply for full time workers or just part time?

Part time workers got a change in sick leave from 5 to 10 days per year. There was almost no noise about this inequity when it happened. Glad it’s being fixed

Sick leave doesn't exist at my work. It's personal leave.

I work in healthcare and consistently work more than 40hr weeks. Does this mean I'll now earn more leave than previously?

So glad this is being adjusted. It’s so unfair on small businesses, a part time worker doing one day a week gets 10 ‘weeks’ per year for sick leave and their full time colleagues get just 2 weeks.

Thanks for breaking it down. I was looking into it earlier and given it is a National bill(?) then I was wondering how they were aiming to screw workers this time and I got my answer.

That’s BS. I work 9-3 technically part time but I work as a counsellor giving my all, exposed to clients who bring bugs into the room and I get less. It’s not like I can get another job after 3:00.

What happens to current part time staff. Who currently get 10 days sick leave. Do they now get less? And is that not a change in their employment contract

For those clueless, men earn 1 hour leave for every 10 hours work. Females earn 1 hour leave for every 50 hours work

Watching this is America and my mind is blown. 4 weeks of leave sounds like heaven. Guaranteed sick leave that you can cash in. Wow…. We just pray we won’t get fired if we have to go to the hospital.
