An HR consultant says the Covid-19 pandemic has changed New Zealand's attitude to taking sick leave, for the better. Sylvie Thrush Marsh from My HR spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

A new report shows New Zealanders are taking more sick leave - and that it cost the economy more than $4 billion last year. Business New Zealand chief executive Katherine Rich spoke to Corin Dann.

Those who are in work are taking more sick leave. New research by Southern Cross Health Insurance and Business NZ has found an average staff member took almost seven days of sick leave last year, up 1.4 from two years earlier. It's costing the country about $4 billion a year. Business NZ Chief Executive Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking the rise in leave entitlements has had an impact, but many employees are also doing what they've been told, staying home when sick so they don't pass it onto their coworkers. She says post Covid, people think more about their wellness and are less likely to solider on like the Codral ad. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The modified Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplaces Act will go into effect as of Wednesday this week. The law requires businesses with between 11 and 19 employees to provide their employees with at least 40 hours of paid sick leave per year, and those with 20 or more employees will need to provide at least 56 hours of paid sick leave.

The government's ditching the Holidays act and replacing it with the Employment Leave Act. After 6 months on the job all workers generally qualify for ten sick days a year .. regardless of whether they are part or full time. The new law will mean part time workers accrue sick leave according to how many hours they have actually worked, the same will apply for annual leave. Part-time retail worker Jess Fuller spoke to Lisa Owen about the change.

There's hopes new changes around leave entitlements will mean employers can focus on their core business. The Government has announced a new hours-based annual and sick leave accrual system as well as the right to take bereavement leave from day one. The changes also mean part-time workers will no longer have a minimum sick leave entitlement - it'll instead be calculated by hours worked. Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden says businesses have been struggling under Labour's changes to leave entitlements - and changes need to be made. "What I've been hearing, loudly, from the business community is that they want it to be proportionate to the number of hours that people actually work."

Statistics Minister Shane Reti has announced that the Census form will be scrapped and instead replaced with smaller surveys and administrative data. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon expressed openness to reducing sick leave entitlements. And tensions between Israel and Iran continue to escalate as Israel's war on Gaza continues, threatening global security. For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Wire Host Caeden spoke with Deputy Leader Carmel Sepuloni about both of these topics.

An Auckland business owner has described current sick leave entitlements as 'manifestly unfair', and said it is a significant burden in tough economic times. In 2021 minimum paid sick leave for workers went from five to 10 days, regardless of how often a person works. The government has confirmed it is changing the law to a pro rata system, or proportional leave; where sick day allowances will be different for part and full-time workers depending on how many hours or days they work. Entertainment business owner Kathy Aspden said her sick leave costs have increased 400% since the allowance doubled. Kathy Aspden spoke to Lisa Owen.

Government plans to change the number of paid sick days workers can take could leave part time employees worse off. Since changes in 2021 New Zealand workers are legally entitled to ten paid sick days a year,regardless of how many hours or days they work. But the government's looking to change to a pro rata system or proportional leave; where sick day allowances will be different for part and full time workers. The Prime Minister confirmed the review, but says the exact details are yet to be decided. Workplace Relations Minister Brooke Van Velden, who will lead any changes, spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, is not dismissing a review of sick leave provisions, including reducing the number of sick leave days that employees are entitled to. Employers and Manufacturers Association advocacy head Alan McDonald spoke to Corin Dann.

The Nebraska Legislature gave final approval Wednesday to scaling back paid sick leave approved by voters, but didn't take up a proposal for a lower minimum wage for teenage workers.

Abortion is heading back to the ballot, after Missouri Republican lawmakers fell back on a little-used rule to shut down a Democratic filibuster and push through a ballot amendment to ban abortion again. They used the same maneuver to repeal a paid sick leave law — just months after Missouri voters approved both.
