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.

Napier Police want to hear from anyone with information about a boat stolen from Tyndale St, Onekawa, Napier, on Friday 3 August around midday.

The 18-foot fibreglass boat is white with a green stripe with the name Hallucination on both sides, and has an in-built six-cylinder motor. It was covered with a silver tarpaulin at the time it was taken.

One neighbour reported seeing two men take the boat. One man is described as 30-40 years old, approximately 5 feet 11 inches, and of a large build. He was reportedly wearing a red singlet and a grey shirt. The witness was not able to give a clear description of the second man.

The pair left the property towing the boat behind a dark blue Ford Transit van, registration UF5016, as seen in the picture attached.

If you have any information about the whereabouts of this boat or the men involved, we would like to hear from you. Call Napier Police on 06 831 0700, or information can be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.
