회사마다 일하시는 직장마다 차이가 있지만 대부분의 뉴질랜드 키위(현지인)들은 병가를 자주 내는 편 입니다
글작성자의 직장에는 50명가량의 직원이 있었는데 2년을 다니면서 50명이 한명도 빠짐없이 모인적은 하루도 없었을 정도로 진짜 아프던, 안아프지않던 권리중 하나인 씩리브(병가)를 사용합니다
속된말로 뉴질랜드에서는 씩리브를 안쓰는게 바보라고 할정도로 권리를 챙기는것이죠
당연히 아프다고 전화나 문자를 해야하기 때문에 빛나는 연기력이 필요로 합니다
그럼 씩리브를 쓰려면 규정에 대해서도 잘 알아야하겠죠?
All employees (including part-time and casual employees) are entitled to 5 days' sick leave if:
일하시는분들 즉 고용인은 풀타임, 파트타임, 캐쥬얼 하시는분들 포함해서 5일의 Sick Leave(병가, 씩리브)를 받으실 수 있습니다
기본적인 규정은 연간 5일이지만 업체에 따라서 더 주는 경우도 있습니다
조건은:
* they have six months’ current continuous employment with the same employer, or
* 같은 고용주로 부터 연속 근무 6개월, 혹은
* they have worked for the employer for six months for:
* 고용주를 위하여 6개월 이상 근무한 근로자
* an average of 10 hours per week, and
* 주당 평균 10시간 근무하고
* at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month.
* 최소 주당 1시간 혹은 매월 40시간 일을 했을 경우 입니다
For each 12 month period after meeting the above, each employee gets at least five days’ sick leave. If in any year the employee doesn’t meet the criteria, then they don’t get any new sick leave entitlement, but can use their sick leave balance which may have carried over. An employee may re-qualify for sick leave as soon as they meet the criteria.
위에 해당하는 조건이 12개월 동안 맞아야 5일의 씩리브를 받을수 있는데 만약에 조건이 맞지 않을 경우 당연히 새로운 5일의 씩리브를 받을수 없습니다
예를들어서 기존에 3일의 씩리브가 있었는데 이번에 5일의 씩리브를 새로 받는다면 5일이 쌓여서 총 8일의 씩리브를 가지시게 됩니다
씩리브 사용으로 인한 임금을 받는 방법은:
- 내가 원래 일하는 날짜와 일하는 시간에 씩리브를 사용해야합니다
내가 일을 하는 날도 아니고 시간도 아닌데 씩리브를 사용할수는 없는 부분 입니다
Average daily pay
일하는 시간이 매주 바뀌는 일을 하고 계신다면, 로스터(Roster, 근무시간표)가 짜여진 시간에 씩리브를 사용하면 해당 날짜에 일했던 평균 일하는 시간에 맞게 씩리브로 인한 페이(임금)를 받을수 있습니다
Relevant daily pay
시간제 임금을 받으시는 분들의 경우 예를 들어서 8시간 일을 해야하는데 일찍 조퇴해서 4시간의 씩리브를 사용하는 경우에 4시간의 임금을 씩리브 페이로 받을수 있습니다
Payment for sick leave is made in the normal pay cycle
씩리브 사용으로 인해서 받아야할 돈은 다음 주급이나, 이주급, 월급을 받을때 받게 됩니다
아래는 기본적인 씩리브 정보이기 때문에 도움이 되니 읽어주시기 바랍니다
Sick leave entitlements are not pro-rated in any way. For example, even if a part-time employee only works three days a week, they still get five days’ sick leave a year and can accumulate up to 20 sick days a year.
Telling your employer that you want sick leave
You need to tell your employer as soon as possible, that you are sick or injured and you want to take sick leave. A phone call is the best way to let your employer know, but your workplace may have its own systems to tell them you are sick.
Payment for sick leave
Payment for sick leave is only made when it is a day that the employee would otherwise have worked if they were not sick. If it was not an otherwise working day (eg if the employee was on unpaid leave or the employee fell sick on a day that they weren't rostered to work) then the employee would not be entitled to be paid sick leave.
Otherwise working day
Payment for sick leave is at the rate the employee would ordinarily be paid on the day leave is taken ie relevant daily pay (or their average daily pay where applicable).
For example, if James normally works 8 hours Tuesday to Friday and four hours on Saturday and is sick on Saturday, the employer should pay James his relevant daily pay for the sick day, ie four hours.
If relevant daily pay is used for the calculation, the payment must include overtime if the employee would have worked overtime on the day if they hadn’t been sick.
For example, Claire’s employment agreement specifies an hour for lunch but Claire, at her employer’s request, usually takes only half an hour for lunch and gets an extra half hour payment each day. If Claire is sick her sick leave payment includes the extra half hour she is normally paid for even though it isn’t in her employment agreement.
If the employee works continuously but has an irregular pattern, sick leave is payable if the employee was rostered to work on the particular day leave is taken, or could have expected to be rostered. The sick leave is paid at the employee’s relevant daily pay or average daily pay.
Payment for sick leave is made in the normal pay cycle.
