The road closed Sunday night after heavy rain and opened to one lane yesterday afternoon. Further inspection has revealed more debris may fall. It’s likely to stay one lane until later this week while NZTA wait for forecast heavy rain to pass. Work to clear the slip will continue when it’s safe to do so.
NZTA say they would like to apologise in advance for any delay the clearing work may cause. People should check the NZTA website, NZTA local social media or call 0800 4 HIGHWAYS before they travel.

• 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.
