A man whose dog suffered puncture wounds in an attack by an unregistered, pit bull-type dog is calling for Auckland Council to do more to target owners of illegal dogs.

In 2016-2017, Auckland Council's animal management officers responded to 38,000 complaints about dogs. The top three complaints included roaming dogs (18,000), barking (8300) and unregistered dogs (2000).

Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act released that more than 7000 out of Auckland's 100,000 dogs were unregistered last year.

"I am doing all the things I am suppose to do, but there are people who are not responsible dog owners who are getting away with no punishment," North Shore dog owner Nathan Purches said.

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.
