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.

He's very good around children ( mine are 11,14) affectionate and is spoilt rotten and sleeps on my bed next to me at night ( on the other pillow) so we need to rehouse him until I buy a house ( hopefully with the next 6 mths to 1yr). My kids would still like to come take him out on the weekends or if you live close by, afterschool. He has a beautiful nature is black, doesn't shed much. I'm happy to pay for his food. He just needs somewhere with a fully fenced backyard with someone who will love him and walk him daily. He's very cruisy just sleeps on our beds alot during the day. But he absolutely loves going on walks or running around at the karori dog park:-) contact Sarah on 0204727245
