About this event
Earlier in March the Government released the long-awaited report on Holidays Act reform with an announcement that all of these recommendations will be implemented.
Some commentators have described the report as a “damp squib” and that it will do little to address the issues employers have raised.
Join Samantha and Bronwyn for a discussion of the report recommendations and what they mean for local government.
The cost for this webinar $250+GST per council.
Only one person is required to complete the registration on the Taituarā website, details on how to access the online event will be emailed directly to this person closer to the event start date. This information can then be shared with all staff in your council who wish to participate in the live session.
If you are unable to attend the live session a recording will be made available withing one week. Recordings can be distributed to all staff at any council who have registered.
