The employer question was standard and answered easily enough. The employees questions were similar in nature. One had been told that they would be paid for 3 days but were expected to work for the whole week. 2 had been told they would be paid for the next couple of weeks but would then likely be let go. The first employee is required to be paid a minimum of 80% of his wages, the second 2 should technically work for the next 12 weeks because that's what's expected, that's what the subsidy is for. I have cut and past below the obligations of an employer. I recommend every one goes to the covid19 website for full information. Remember an employer must make their best efforts to retain staff they have claimed the money for. improper claims may result in fraud charges, also you could be required to pay back any money you have received if you haven't used it properly.
Employer obligations
The subsidy is being administered under a high trust model and employers will not be asked for verification before the subsidy is approved. However MSD will have the ability to check applications and verify information at a later date. Where false or misleading information has been provided, employers can be subject to fraud investigation.
To receive the COVID-19 Wage Subsidy, the employer must agree:
that they meet the following subsidy eligibility criteria:
the business is registered and operating in New Zealand
their business has experienced a minimum 30% decline in actual or predicted revenue over the period of a month when compared to the same month last year (or a reasonably equivalent month for a business operating less than a year) and that revenue loss is attributable to the COVID-19 outbreak
they have taken active steps to mitigate the financial impact of COVID-19 on their business activities
the employer will make best endeavours to retain the named employees and pay them a minimum of 80% of their normal wages or salary for the duration of the subsidy
the employer has discussed the application with the named employees, who consent to the information in the application:
being provided to MSD; and
being used by MSD, and shared with other agencies, to make decisions about the application, and to review and audit any subsidy granted
the employer consents to the information in the application being verified with other agencies
the employer is aware that they may be audited, and if they provide false or misleading information, they may be investigated for fraud
the employer will notify if circumstances change that affect their eligibility
the employer will repay any amount to which they are not entitled

Can you actually believe this nastiness?

As the country prepares for a lockdown, property managers are telling tenants that they must pay rent or likely receive a 14-day notice.
The three shameful property managers named in the article are as follows:
Quinovic (Wellington) - no surprises Quinovic are involved.
Prestige Property Management Limited (Christchurch)
Propertyscouts (Hawke's Bay)
Surely, they could've resolved any issues before lockdown and not just as we are going into it.
Besides all of this, the legal time to give notice to vacate the premises for landlords is 90 days (Tennents is 21 days).
The minimum period for landlords is 42 days’ notice.
They cannot give notice for a fixed term tenancy.
This is absolutely disgraceful!😠

We have managed to go remote with our NZQA fulltime courses! NZSFWLive is our new online learning platform where our tutors live-stream their classes to students at home. The cookery students have been supplied with ingredients, and in some cases, bowls, trays, sieves and pots, so that they watch the demonstration and then prepare it themselves at home. They then upload a photo of what’s cooked. We are using Google Classrooms and Hangouts to connect.
Here is Chef Finn preparing a cheese soufflé. Click here for the recipe to have a go yourself.
During the #lockdown our premises will remain closed but you can contact us on admin@foodandwine.co.nz
