How many vacations days do people get in New Zealand?


I might be going there for a couple of years to work, and I was wondering legally how many vacations days per year do people get in New Zealand? Is it 10 business days?

there are 11 statutory holidays:
jan 1
jan 2 (new years day)
feb 14 (waitangi day)
april (second weekend, fri, sun mon: easter)
april 25 (anzac day)
june 6 (queens birthday)
oct? (labour day, it varies)
dec 25
dec 26 (christmas)

and each province has a stat day too, apart from that new zealand now has four weeks annual leave that equals 8% of your annual pay.

all up thats up to 11 stat days and 20 working days a years. (the stat day may fall in the weekend and only a few are transferred to the closest mon or fri)

hope that helps

Ocean Advice With Global Exchange Vacation Club

Experience The Caribbean By: Claribel Rizas

When someone mentions the Caribbean, it probably conjures up images of pure blue ocean, white sand, lush landscapes and relaxation. Indeed, this is pretty close to the truth. One of the biggest challenges when planning a trip to the Caribbean is choosing which island to visit, so here is a quick description of some of the most popular locations.

Antigua: Antigua is probably the most popular island and is well served by many international and regional connections. It is also a popular port of call for cruise ships, meaning there is some great shopping available. Antigua's beaches are amongst the best in the Caribbean, with bright white sand and twinkling ocean. Unusually for such a popular tourist destination it is almost always possible to find some privacy with a little walk along the coast.

Montserrat: Montserrat is one of the smaller islands and is great for those looking to get off the tourist trail and get a taste of authentic Caribbean life. Though it makes for a peaceful holiday location the lack of tourism makes itself felt in the relatively small number of hotels, bars and restaurants available, meaning those looking for a more eventful trip should probably look elsewhere. - Global Exchange Vacation Club

Bermuda: The sheer range of activities available on Bermuda explains its popularity as an island choice; there are spectacular parks, nature reserves and underground cave formations just begging to be explored. If you're looking for a treat after a long day exploring there are also some fantastic bars and restaurants dotted around. The scuba diving and snorkelling here is also unsurpassed.

St Vincent and the Grenadines: The St Vincent in this island's name refers to a larger forested island in the south east of the Caribbean, whilst the Grenadines are the collection of small islands or cays dotted around it. These islands are designed to be explored by boat or ferry and aren't particularly easy to fly too, though it is possible from Bermuda.

Aruba: Out of all the islands Aruba is probably the one which provides the best balance between the tourist and the local. Aruba is also a popular option in Caribbean package holiday deals, meaning it's a great destination for those looking for a bargain. Aruba has exceptionally friendly locals whose charms are backed up by the islands other attractions - bars, snorkelling, beautiful beaches, sailing.

When it comes to planning how you'll travel to the Caribbean there are plenty of chartered and international flights leaving from Europe (especially the UK), Canada, and from cities all over the USA. Once you're on the islands it's also easy to hop from one to another via inter island flight.

The complexes of islands which comprise the Caribbean are some of the most interesting, beautiful places in the world. There is always something to explored, always something to do; no matter what you're looking for.

Description

Sarah Vowell exposes the glorious conundrums of American history and culture with wit, probity, and an irreverent sense of humor. With Assassination Vacation, she takes us on a road trip like no other -- a journey to the pit stops of American political murder and through the myriad ways they have been used for fun and profit, for political and cultural advantage.From Buffalo to Alaska, Washington to the Dry Tortugas, Vowell visits locations immortalized and influenced by the spilling of politically important blood, reporting as she goes with her trademark blend of wisecracking humor, remarkable honesty, and thought-provoking criticism. We learn about the jinx that was Robert Todd Lincoln (present at the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) and witness the politicking that went into the making of the Lincoln Memorial. The resulting narrative is much more than an entertaining and informative travelogue -- it is the disturbing and fascinating story of how American death has been manipulated by popular culture, including literature, architecture, sculpture, and -- the author's favorite -- historical tourism. Though the themes of loss and violence are explored and we make detours to see how the Republican Party became the Republican Party, there are all kinds of lighter diversions along the way into the lives of the three presidents and their assassins, including mummies, show tunes, mean-spirited totem poles, and a nineteenth-century biblical sex cult.
