• 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.
From tomorrow, the Botanic D'Lights event will take over the Arts Centre and the Botanic Gardens.

The council has stopped chlorine treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations in the north west supply zone.
About 80,000 people are in the North West zone and turning off treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations means 37 per cent of the zone is getting untreated water.

About 80,000 people are in the North West zone and turning off treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations means 37 per cent of the zone is getting untreated water.
The Council is working through a similar process to stop chlorination at the following pump stations:
Thompsons and Grampian in the North West zone
Hills and Lake Terrace in the Central zone
Woolston in the Ferrymead zone
**The below ground wells can only stop being used at times of low (winter) water demand. If demand goes up and water needs to be drawn from the below ground well heads, water from the pump station will need to be treated.
Red and black fever took over central city today in celebration of the BNZ Crusaders' SuperRugby win!

My name is Hadley Anderson and I', a student at the University of Canterbury studying towards a MSc in Applied Psychology. I am currently looking for participants who work 20+ hours a week to participate in a survey looking at potential differences between same-sex and mixed-sex partners in areas of work-family conflict and perceptions of life satisfaction. This research is part of an international study as well as a unique area of work-family research. If you currently work 20+hours a week I would hugely appreciate if you could take the time to look at my survey and contribute to this unique and important area of research for everybody's work life wellbeing. If you would like to participate, please click on the following link:

If you have a partner that also works 20+ hours a week, feel free to pass the survey link onto them. Thank you for your consideration, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me at hadley.anderson@pg.canterbury.ac.nz
I have a Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive 5.5kg washing machine to give away for free. It has served me well for 16 years but the control panel has died and cannot be replaced. The rest of it is fine so would be useful for spare parts. Message me if you are interested in taking it off my hands.
