Original post from 201
My cat has gone missing :(
She comes to the name toffee,
She doesn't like new people so may run away,
Last saw her in the neighbours yard and haven't seen her since,,
Shes not an outdoor cat so she's most likely gone feral or she's hiding somewhere, (unless the neighbours have her inside )

It's been a few days now :(
Location would be Somerfeild area around the Milton street and Barrington street area;,

Events & multi-purpose stadiums

John from Woolston

This piqued my interest so I did some research on where the concerts will be held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and it turns out they are all being held in theaters, opera houses and event centers, like Spark Arena, Logan Campbell Event Center, The Powerhouse, Wellington Opera House, and Horncastle Arena. The largest capacity is 12000 which is the Spark Arena.
I believe this is evidence that having a covered stadium for rugby, events and concerts as Dunedin has and what many in Christchurch are clamouring for, doesn't necessarily guarantee that overseas artists will come.

With winter bugs doing the rounds, it’s worth knowing what the rules are about sick leave. So what are you entitled to?

• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.

These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.

Check out our website for more information about sick leave and other employment rights and responsibilities. If you’ve got questions get in touch with a CAB near you, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or contact us online.
