As the Government moves to double employees' sick leave entitlements, a man is calling for a law change to go even further – and allow workers to take a paid day off on their birthday.
When Clifford Hallett blows out the candles on his cake in a couple of weeks, he'll likely wish for an extra leave day to celebrate.
Hallett has launched a petition to Parliament requesting it pass legislation to give all employees that right.

Tell us what you think.

Using the Wellington City Council's FIXiT app

Tom Neighbourly Lead from Karori

A post earlier today mentioning an increase in tagging in Karori suggests that it may to time, once again, to remind everyone of the Wellington City Coucil's FIXiT app. Anyone encountering anything that requires the Council's attention should advise the City Council by phone (04 499 44 … View moreA post earlier today mentioning an increase in tagging in Karori suggests that it may to time, once again, to remind everyone of the Wellington City Coucil's FIXiT app. Anyone encountering anything that requires the Council's attention should advise the City Council by phone (04 499 44 44) or, preferably, via the WCC FIXiT app.
The app is easy to download and, from comments that I have seen, its use seems to prompt a more immediate response than a phone call.
When you install the app it will ask you to give it permission to access your Location, Photos/Media/Files, and your Camera. To use it, you simply open the app and follow the simple instructions, including taking a photo of the graffiti or any other thing that needs attention by the Council.

"I am a special dude who has had an unusual start to my rehoming journey. I am completely deaf but that doesn't stop me having a great time!​​ I am a fun, loveable, boy who has stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. I am looking for an experienced owner, who has a suitable property for me to thrive in. I'm always up for a walk or a game to play, and I love to find things to do and keep active. I am looking for a home with teenagers or adults, and a home without cats or small animals. I am happy to play with other active dogs, and love to be social with both people and dogs. If you are interested in me and my goofy personality - chat to the canine team."
