Workers may soon be eligible for different amounts of sick leave based on the hours they work.
This morning, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon revealed the Workplace Relations Minister is looking at altering the current 10 day entitlement.
Brooke van Velden says Cabinet has already agreed to develop a pro-rated sick leave system.
"Is it fair that someone who works maybe one day a week, maybe two days a week gets the same sick leave entitlements as someone who works full-time? We would say no, as a Government."
