Schools/Daycares are closed until Monday here in CHCH.
My work is open and I'm not sure whether the days I have to take off will be regarded as annual leave, or if they won't take it out of any of my leave...if you know what I am saying?
Does anyone know what it should be coming out of?

Think it will depend on the company to be honest.. big firms will likely take is a sick leave/compassionate leave but small business will likely take it as A/L.. best discuss with your boss/HR department.

Yeah I was talking to another mum on here about it and her work is giving her compassionate leave if she needs it.
But agree with Mel, talk to you boss/hr dept.

Its a govt department, so fingers crossed its under something other than annual/sick as I need to save annual leave for overseas holiday @ xmas!!!

A government department should give you compassionate. I worked for one and they gave me all the time off I needed for when the boys were sick or things like that.

i think legally, they don't have to do anything, but a lot of the bigger companies are paying out the wages - progressive, warehouse and a few more.

i work for a big company and i know the leave iv taken this week is something called "special leave " as my work is in the cbd and we cannot go to work , Bubs preschool is also closed till monday , my work told me they would cover any more leave i had to take if preschool was closed longer or if i didnt feel comfortable leaving her at this time . im not too sure about other companys but my work has been amazing through this whole thing , At this very moment they are looking for somewhere for me and my family to stay (and they will pay for it ) as we are now at day 6 without water and a sick baby ( gastro ) they will also supply security of my house when we leave . i am very lucky to be working for such a big company . i really feel for small buisnesses at the moment
