How do different countries compare, in terms of the amount of time that workers take as sick leave?Loyal listener Dave got in touch to ask us to look at a surprising statistic he saw in the news – that the average German takes 19.5 days of sick leave per year.“This is extremely hard to believe,” he wrote.We track down the – highly reliable – source of the claim, and look at the differences between countries when it comes to taking time of work with illness.To guide us through it all is Lukas Lehner - assistant professor at the University of Edinburgh.If you've seen a number in the news that you think we should take a look at, get in touch: moreorless@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Lizzy McNeill Producer: Krista Beighton Series producer: Tom Colls Production co-ordinator: Brenda Brown Sound mix: James Beard Editor: Richard Vadon

This week we read the federal budget the way it’s meant to be read: as a moral document. What it shows is individuals paying more, corporations getting refunds, classrooms getting gutted, and the pentagon getting fed, all while the deficit stays exactly where it always was. The “fiscally responsible” costume is just that. Then we looked at the strategic petroleum reserve, which is sitting at 1983 levels after nearly 100 million barrels drawn down since the Iran war began—and with China about to reenter the market and the strait still choked off, the traders who’ve been keeping oil prices contained are running out of room.

The government is considering introducing five days paid leave for women who suffer pregnancy loss before 23 weeks — and most people agree that's long overdue for miscarriage. But a lot of listeners got onto us about one key detail: the same paid leave would also apply to women who've had a termination. Should it be treated the same as miscarriage leave, or is it a “choice” that shouldn't be “rewarded”? With live callers taking both sides, the debate turns fiery fast — from “it's healthcare” and compassion, to accusations of “murder”, shaming, and whether employers should even know the reason. Strictly over 18s.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Mentoring Matters, we get personal. We recorded this one back in January 2025 and are just now sharing it, but the topic is too important to sit on. Mary and Steph both stepped away from their labs for a semester, one planned and one not, and we're talking about what that looked like, what we wish we'd done differently, and what we'd tell other mentors to have in place before they need it.We talk about the difference between preparing for a sabbatical you see coming and scrambling when a health challenge or life event pulls you away without warning. From making sure your students know who to go to, to keeping projects on track when you're not in the building, we cover the practical stuff that nobody really walks you through before it happens.Whether you're planning a leave or just want to be ready in case life has other plans, this conversation is one worth having now rather than later. Because every mentor is going to be unavailable at some point.For actionable tips and strategies for mentoring please check out The Graduate Mentor's Trail Map available in paperback and ebook!

Symptoms and sniffles are starting to keep people away from work - and employers are being warned to take care with the rules around sick leave. Hesketh Henry Employment Lawyer Jim Roberts spoke to Corin Dann.
Public health experts have noticed this latest Covid wave is worsening as fewer Kiwis are getting vaccination boosters and tests, and it's renewed debate about sick leave. Wastewater analysis from PHF Science shows that the number of cases is at the highest rate it's been for over six months, and Health NZ says there's been 50 hospitalisations and 19 deaths from the virus this week. Otago University associate professor Paula O'Kane says it's important to let sick leave accrue every year - and stay consistent as Kiwis move jobs. "It would give people access to better sick leave, it might discourage misuse of sick leave, and when people are actually sick for a longer period of time, they're better covered. So it would really help to deal with issues around people's long-term illness, for example." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
