Thanks.

To the lovely lady, who met my son at the $2 shop, and saw that he was stressed, thank you. You asked if he was okay, and he told you he was been chased by High School boys. (Son, first year intermediate.), You decided to walk him home, as he was frightened, and for a bit, the boys followed you., … View moreTo the lovely lady, who met my son at the $2 shop, and saw that he was stressed, thank you. You asked if he was okay, and he told you he was been chased by High School boys. (Son, first year intermediate.), You decided to walk him home, as he was frightened, and for a bit, the boys followed you., but eventually left. Thank you. You rang for me to meet up, with my son, but by the time I got there, you were gone. So I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you did for my son, and how I won't forget your kind act, of helping a young one in need. Thank you for the water, he says. Thank you for helping him, he says. A thousand thank you's isn't enough. It maybe a small deed to some, but my heart is full of praise for the wonderful deed, you did today. Thank you...

• 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.
