Well, I'm in the dairy industry too, just at the other end ! LOL And no, I don't mean the other end of a cow :P I wouldn't mind working on a farm actually, but I don't think hubby would cope.

Jax I live just out of Matamata, in Waharoa. But to be honest most people in our area probably pay alot more, our house is supplied by the farm owner that my fiancee works for and the only reason we even pay rent is because the IRD won't allow our boss to give a house away for free. It is one of the many perks of being in the dairy farming industry. ]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2006 14:22:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1365&PID=24820&title=end-date-for-work#24820 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1365&PID=24819&title=end-date-for-work#24819 Author: jax

Toni, where do you live??

To be honest Aimee, I just don't know how everyone does it! I could never imagine paying a $200-$400 a week for rent. For most people that is a good half of their wages gone. My fiancee Spencer is on $41k & we only pay $60 a week rent out of that. I don't think we could manage paying $300 a week, no wonder some many mums have to go back to work, instead of being a SAHM, really makes me sad. ]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2006 12:26:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1365&PID=24795&title=end-date-for-work#24795 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1365&PID=24789&title=end-date-for-work#24789 Author: aimeejoy

Well I was on a six month contract, but when they found out I was pregnant, my contract was cut short because they were supposedly reducing staff. Then after I left I found out they replaced me so go figure. My union rep said I could take them to the cleaners for what they did but by that stage I was fed up & said forget it.
I didn't find it that hard to milk cows actually and it was only 4 hours a day. I'm not eligible for maternity leave at this job either because I only work casually. But I'm not really worried about it, I qualify for alot of family assistance in April, plus I can get the $1200 parental tax credit when bubs is born, and since my fiancee is gets very cheap rent for a beautiful 5 bedroom home with his managing job plus about a $1000 worth of beef every year (we get it in about 2 weeks), we are very well off compared to alot of people. And we get to live in a lovely rural area, that is still only 5 minutes from town. Sorry I hope I'm not gloating but I love our lifestyle!]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2006 12:01:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1365&PID=24785&title=end-date-for-work#24785 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1365&PID=24781&title=end-date-for-work#24781 Author: aimeejoy

I got booted out of my office job 3 months before I was due, but then ended up milking cows full time until my due date, so ended up only having 8 days rest while I was overdue, well actually only 7 because I was in labour for 31 hours at the end. I was really lucky, because I had a very cruisy baby so was able to catch up on rest after the birth!

I am looking forward to finishing work.

I have heard back about maternity leave and its still up in the air, because midway through last year i changed jobs to a different company, but both job places are owned by the same person.

So we are just waiting on ird to tell us if that makes any difference. I am hoping it doesnt as we could use the money.]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2006 20:28:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1365&PID=24431&title=end-date-for-work#24431 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1365&PID=24388&title=end-date-for-work#24388 Author: aimeejoy
