Many employers are cautious about ensuring workplace benefits and employee entitlements are not misused or abused by their employees. According to the <\/span>Wellness in the Workplace Survey<\/span> in 2017 conducted by the Southern Cross Health Society and BusinessNZ, an absent employee typically costs their employer NZD 600 to NZD 1,000 a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the cost of an absent employee is a valid concern for employers, there is a good case for providing your employees adequate time to rest and recharge as studies have shown that wellness has a significant impact on productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

An employer that fails to give its employees its minimum leave entitlements  in NZ may also face harsh penalties. For companies who flout the rules, the penalty is the greater of NZD 100,000 or three times the amount of the financial gain made by the company. So it’s better to know about types of leave  in NZ.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
