Holidays (Increasing Sick Leave) Amendment Bill w/ Julia Shallcrass: May 24, 2021

The Holidays (Increasing Sick Leave) Amendment Bill recently passed, increasing employer funded sick leave from five to 10 days.

Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Michael Wood says the bill will benefit both employees and employers.

I talked to Julia Shallcrass, a business expert and director of Kiwiboss, about the bill, and how increasing sick leave has been shown to boost productivity.
