With Covid-19 still a very real risk, people who are unwell are told to stay home, and to keep any sickly kids home too - but what if you don't have any more sick leave owing?

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.
New Zealand’s minimum sick leave allowance is one of the lowest in the OECD. In Australia they get 10 days, in most European countries it’s even more.
Should Kiwis be entitled to more sick leave?

The first question many landlords have is what will my property rent for?
If you’ve been managing your own investments for a while you may not have looked at whether your rents are keeping up with the market. Private landlords will often leave rents as is, for fear of upsetting stable tenants.

If you’ve been managing your own investments for a while you may not have looked at whether your rents are keeping up with the market. Private landlords will often leave rents as is, for fear of upsetting stable tenants.
However it is possible to maintain fair market rent and keep good tenants. Our 3 - step rent review process keeps your investment up to date with the market, while also keeping quality tenants in the property.

We have taken our hero of honeys, Beechwood Honey Dew with all of it’s wonderful properties and combined it with the juice of Blackcurrants – it is a taste sensation!
There are 2 great options:
1. Blackcurrant & Honey Spread ($15.00 for 375gm) – great for spreading on your toast, crumpets, drizzling over porridge, ice cream, waffles, pancakes, adding to your smoothies for a real taste hit, add boiling water for a delicious fruit drink or my personal favourite – the jar and a spoon!
Ingredients: Pure Canterbury Beechwood Honey Dew, Canterbury Blackcurrant Concentrate, Fructose Sugar (1.9%)
2. Blackcurrant & Honey Concentrate ($15.00 for 300ml) – just add water, hot or cold to taste. This is perfect for refreshing drinks, a topping over your ice cream, in smoothies, desserts, over your breakfast cereal or freezing for ice blocks for the kids. Add hot water for a delicious fruit drink - yum!
The products have been tremendously popular at markets and we often sell out at these events.

I hope you are all well following lockdown and the Covid-19 Crisis affecting many of us in our homes and work situations?
Please do let me or any of our SRA Committee know if you have any particular concerns during this difficult year.
SRA July Newsletter:
Please find enclosed our 28th Issue, SRA newsletter for July 2020 - which has been delivered by at least 10 local residents. Please let me know if you haven't received your newsletter or feel like you should have received one already?
Many Thanks to our regular & casual volunteers who always help to deliver them & make our SRA Newsletter easier and more fun to have delivered to approx 2600 local letterboxes and businesses.
Thanks to the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and CCC staff who have consistently printed and folded 26 of our issues and Krystal Henderson (c/- Ray White Barrington) who has kindly printed in colour & folded 2 of our 28 issues. Post Covid-19 lockdown - our SRA Newsletter has been even more important to help connect some of our vulnerable residents who may be without social media options. Our newsletters appear to be very well received by so many residents & business owners - it is one of the most important useful ways we can communicate with all our community.
This month's newsletter focuses on post lockdown and hopefully may be useful for some vulnerable residents who were living by themselves throughout this difficult year.
SRA Meetings:
Our remaining meetings for 2020 (in the Somerfield Community Centre backroom at 7.30pm) are:
Monday 27th July
" 14th September (AGM)- Guest Speaker to be confirmed
" 9th November
We welcome anyone to join us at any meetings!
Please keep an eye on your neighbours and let me /our SRA Committee know if there are any concerns which could be addressed by our team?
Warm regards Julie Tobbell.
SRA Chairperson.
