With winter bugs doing the rounds, it’s worth knowing what the rules are about sick leave. So what are you entitled to?

• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.

These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.

Check out our website for more information about sick leave and other employment rights and responsibilities. If you’ve got questions get in touch with a CAB near you, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or contact us online.

Hello everyone

The Department of Internal Affairs is considering some work around improving services for former refugees. DIA services includes Refugee Travel Documents, Translations and Ethnic Communities. The area I support focusses on travel and identity documents.
We are at the very beginning of this work and need to get an understanding of the full experience of refugees entering and settling in New Zealand.

I need to talk to former refugees based in Wellington and chat about their experience arriving and settling in NZ - what went well and what were the challenges.

Volunteers would need to have a good level of English but would not need to be fluent. It would probably take 40-50 minutes and we could meet them wherever it is most convenient for them eg at their home, at a café or library, or they could come to one of our offices in the CBD.

To show our appreciation of their time we would provide participants with a $50 shopping voucher.

Anyone who is interested in participating please contact me on:
shane.ngan@dia.govt.nz or on 021 416204

Many thanks
Shane Ngan
