Show Notes
Sick leave is becoming an increasing issue for employers.
Business Desk reports bosses are noticing that people are not shy about using up all their sick leave entitlements.
Data shows that on average people take 5.5 sick days a year, a big jump from where it was at 4.5 pre-pandemic.
Business NZ's Director of Advocacy Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that everyone's position on illnesses has changed.
She puts it down to a shift in attitudes towards sickness following the pandemic, as well as a more progressive view of mental health.
