All police carry proof of their identity.

If a police officer - or someone who says they are a police officer - stops you and asks you questions, you can politely ask for their proof of identity (identification card or ID).

Some police officers including detectives do not wear a uniform (they wear plain clothes). If you are approached or questioned by a police officer in plain clothes, they should be able to show you their police identification card and tell you what police station they come from.

You are welcome and encouraged to approach police and talk with them or ask for help.

The minimum wage is the minimum hourly rate that employers can legally pay most adult employees in New Zealand. The minimum wage is currently $23.15 for most workers - there are some exceptions.

The living wage is calculated as the amount a worker must earn per hour to be able to live with dignity and participate as an active member of society. It is calculated by the Family Centre Social Policy Research Unit on behalf of Living Wage Aotearoa New Zealand – a movement of civil society organisations independent of any political parties. The living wage is optional for employers. It is currently calculated as $27.80 per hour.

Losing a job can be a really stressful time for you and your whānau.

Your employer must give you notice or payment equal to the notice period if they terminate your employment. What you receive will depend on what is in your employment agreement.

The only situation where an employer can terminate your employment and ask you to leave right away without paying out your notice period, is if you have been dismissed for serious misconduct.
