Call to ditch sick leave wait

Wellington: The Council of Trade Unions (CTU) is calling on Parliament to ditch the rule that requires workers to be employed for six months before they can get sick leave.

A Bill to double sick leave entitlements from five days to 10 is before a select committee.

CTU secretary Melissa AnsellBridges said people need accessible sick leave, no matter how long they have been in a role. — RNZ
