PROVISIONS RELATING TO LEAVE. Public Holidays Employees shall be entitled to 11 public holidays per year, in addition to annual leave. These days shall be those specified in the Holidays Xxx 0000.

Where the public holiday falls on a day that would otherwise be a working day for the employee, and the employee works on the public holiday, the employee shall receive, in addition to payment for working on the public holiday (Clause 17.2), an alternative paid holiday of one day at a later date. The timing of the alternative paid holiday will be determined by agreement between the employer and the employee or, in the absence of agreement being reached, according to the Holidays Xxx 0000.

PROVISIONS RELATING TO LEAVE. Paid parental leave Enhancing paid parental leave is a significant achievement in this MECA (Clause 28.2), particularly given the higher vulnerability to burnout of female SMOs in their 30s. The previous entitlement was for six weeks paid leave (which is in addition to the statutory IRD entitlement of up to 18 weeks of average weekly pay currently capped at $538.55 per week). In this new MECA, members will have 14 weeks paid parental leave on full pay through the DHB topping up the statutory IRD payment (ie, 14 weeks’ full pay offset against the IRD payment). Members can also claim a further 4 weeks of IRD payments. For those members not eligible for the statutory IRD payment (eg, those who work less than 10 hours a week), the MECA retains the previous entitlement of 6 weeks’ parental leave on full pay. Overall this represents a significant advance for most of those who will exercise the entitlement. Further, despite strong pressure from the DHBs to remove it as a ‘trade off’, the two weeks paid partner leave remains. Long service leave In the previous MECA there was no overall entitlement to long service leave. In 12 DHBs there was a protected entitlement for long service leave that varies somewhat but is normally two weeks every 10 years’ service (or two weeks after 10 years and a further two weeks after 20 years). There are also a small number of DHBs with grandparented long service leave entitlements. These continue to be protected in Schedule 3 of the new MECA. In the new MECA (Clause 25), this standard protected entitlement extends to all members although for those employed by their DHB as at this date recognition of service commences from 3 July 2017. Newly appointed SMOs (after 1 July 2017) become eligible for commencement of service recognition from the date they commence employment. Summary of other provisions Part Three contains the following: • Annual Leave is six weeks for all ASMS members. There is no limit on accrual although the ASMS encourages members to use the entitlement according to its tenor and not accumulate without an intention or plan to take it. Increasing annual leave to six weeks was negotiated to provide members with appropriate and necessary rest and recreation due to their highly demanding employment. • Public Holidays covers the statutory holidays recognised by the Holidays Act and includes an entitlement for time-in-lieu for working or being available to work. The Holidays Act also provides an additional 50% loading to the...
