Itās crazy eh. There are some people that view their sick leave entitlement as annual leave
I work in the private sector, where your annual leave is your discretionary entitlement. And when you are sick, you take sick leave.
But some industries (eg nurses), it is basically accepted that sick leave is viewed as an entitlement to use at your discretion
Now, I get that nurses are underpaid, and deserve more. But the flip side is that they treat their 10 days of sick leave as annual leave
You mention sick leave. You mention annual leave. You throw the number 10 around. Please link factual references

So your prejudiced viewpoint. Cool.

10 days = 10 weeks sick leave entitlement if you work 1 x 10 hour day per week.
Do you think thatās fair?
It's 10 days per annum. Jaysis. I have no idea about your version of maths.

And if you work 1 day per week, how many weeks would you be entitled to at 10 days per year?

Are you sheltered; naive or truely just believe everyone are all morally saints?
Seems like you're conflating 10 days paid sick leave with 10 weeks full pay

It is 10 weeks full pay if you work 1 day per week.
If you work 1 day per week, you work 52 weeks and days in a year. If you have 10 days off sick leave, you work 42 weeks/ days in a year.
Thatās 10 weeks off fully paid at your 1 day per week.
Are they entitled to 5 days paid sick leave for each 1 day they take off in a given week? That sounds preposterous.
I have no clue what he's conflating tbh

Seriously? Jaysis I'd hate to see your maths qualifications.
If you're so unhappy why do you employ people? If you don't trust your employees and think the worst, why do you employ people?
Me either, I only dropped by to check out Team List Tuesday and I got baited into this.
All APS jobs basically.

Iām not wrong. Iāve employed and paid wages for over 20 years.
Iāve asked you continuously, how many weeks off can a person employed for 1 day per week have in a year for sick pay? Tell me the answer or accept they are entitled to 10 weeks off

If you canāt understand someone working part time with the same 10 day entitlement gets a larger percentage of their time available as sick leave than someone working full time, then you shouldnāt be commenting on this debate.
Itās what itās all about and why itās fundamentally unfair on full time workers and disproportionately assists part time workers and severely affects consistency in workplaces.
I personally don't have a problem with public hospitals supplementing the public PROVIDED it's not at the expense of the public systems through loss of staff to private clinics/hospitals and the money for the contracted procedures is the same budgeted amount whether it's performed publicly or privately if it means that waiting lists come down. Especially considering that a number of richer people will already have health insurance meaning that, for a lot of elective surgeries in the public system, it's those without it who are forced to suffer longer sitting on a public waiting list.

Hospital outsourcing contracts have tended to be short-term, but Health Minister Simeon Brown has made a new request.www.rnz.co.nz
From personal experience. Because we had medical insurance (provided through my wife's work), S was about to have her cancer surgery and start chemo ASAP after she was diagnosed. A few months earlier, a friend of ours was diagnosed with a less aggressive form of breast cancer but she had to go through the public system. Because of delays seeing an oncologist and then with the surgery, it became far more aggressive and unfortunately she passed away within six months of finishing her chemo. The oncologist told her husband that she would have had a far better chance of surviving if he had seen her earlier.
During Helen Clark's time as PM, my mother had both her cataract operations done privately but funded by the public system. The change in her was dramatic as she used to be a piano teacher and wasn't able to play for a few years because of not being able to see the music. That led to depression and drugs to overcome that. The change, after the second eye was operated on, was almost immediate and she was soon off the antidepressants.
It's a pity if we decided not to allow most people to be given the healthcare, either publicly or privately, they need faster because of political ideologies about spreading the health load in both public and private facilities.
