Covid sick days for Council Workers 2020-2023

Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Auckland Council

Currently waiting for a response from Auckland Council, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Erika Whittome

Dear Auckland Council,
In 2020-2023 there was an additional allowance of sick days for workers who got covid 19 that was on top of regular statutory sick days.

Can you please provide summarized covid sick days data by month (or fortnightly pay period) of Covid sick leave for all Auckland Council staff?

eg one row would be "Nov 2021, 55 covid sick days taken"

The timeframe for this information on covid sick days is from the start of 6 April 2020 to end of 15 August 2023. This is the timeframe that the Covid sick day allowance was in place according to the IRD.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
