    2. 1.2

      I notice that the detail in the link gives the annual leave for New Zealand as being zero. He also don't seem to have included KiwiSaver.

      Still a surprising result though.

      1. 1.2.1

        Unless you own a dairy farm or have a real estate license in Queenstown, employment public sector or private sector right now is a complete bloodbath.

      2. 1.2.2

        It mentions no National Insurance/payroll tax like costs on the employer.

        KiwiSaver is not compulsory and John Key allowed total remuneration clauses

        Annual Leave?

        What is says is

        Annual leave and sick leave entitlements are also set by statute and must be reflected in every written employment agreement.

        1. 1.2.2.1

          It says that but in the table it leaves the column for annual leave blank.

          It should have reflected the required 20 days.

      3. 1.2.3

        Chris Werry replied to Mark Daalder

        Annual leave is not considered for their ranking score which is based on statutory employer contributions, severance, and notice period. With no statutory severance or notice period NZ scores low.

        They have statutory employer contributions at 4.2% which I presume is Kiwisaver

        Or an assessment of holiday pay or sickness entitlement.

  2. 2

    I wasn't paying close-enough attention to the news last night – that ACT Party figure who's admitted to further sexual offending and pleaded guilty to one charge of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection.

    Is that Paul Henry?

    1. 3.1

      Jago – an influential figure in the ACT party?

      Is he why Brooke van Velden fled?

      Or was it Michael Laws??

      1. 3.1.1

        please stop speculating on things that are potentially defamatory and put the site owners at risk of legal action. Making it a question doesn't change that.

        You are free to link and talk about what is in the public domain.

        1. 3.1.1.1

          by public domain, I mean reliable sources, not reckons on FB or wherever. If MSM aren't reporting it, it's because their lawyers have said not to.

          In this case, there is reporting on Jago, but please stick to reported facts and known information.
