2 Tuesday December 5 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi from the editor’s desk CHRISTMAS MIGHT be right on the radar but there’s another big event looming too – the City2Surf. Yep, it’s only a handful of months away (see page 4) so it’s time to start lacing up those running shoes and pounding the pavement or local park to get in some sort of shape. The great thing about the City2Surf – and this hasn’t changed over the decades – is that anyone regardless of shape or fitness level can take part. A face that will appear on the marketing of City2Surf this year is Jesel Royokada, a Fijian pastor. And remember it’s a family event: Children 10 and under participate for free. Barry Clarke news Getting into the spirit for City2Surf Pastor Jesel Royokada has asked his congregation of about 80 to get involved in next year’s Star Media City2Surf.

SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday December 5 2017 3 News Lieu day decision could be appealed • By Emily O’Connell FAST FOOD giant, Wendy’s, may appeal the decision on lieu days. Wendy’s chief executive officer Danielle Lendich told Southern View neither party won in the determination. “The authority member has come up with an alternative interpretation of law which is not based on either parties’ submissions,” she said. But Hornby Wendy’s worker, Rose Williams, thinks she’s definitely won the battle. Ms Lendich has until next Wednesday to appeal the decision. She said they are “currently still interpreting the decision and no decision has been made whether to appeal or not.” Ms Lendich said the outcome will have repercussions for many industries, not just hospitality. Mrs Williams went to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment three years ago with the lieu day issue after she had been working at the Hornby restaurant for a year. Wendy’s, which has 23 outlets in New Zealand, including one in Hereford St and in Hornby, has breached two sections of the Holidays Act 2003. Ms Lendich said they have been using the ‘three week’ rule SUCCESS: Rose Williams believes she’s won the battle against Wendy’s in spite of its CEO defending the company’s actions. PHOTO: ANDREW KING to determine who is entitled to alternative holidays. “... a person who works the same day of the week as the public holiday for the three weeks prior to the public holiday and the public holiday itself is due an alternative day,” she said. Ms Lendich issued a notice to all her employees last week, letting them know about the situation. “However the decision does not mean that everyone will be paid an alternative day for working a public holiday,” the letter concluded. Unite Union, of which Mrs Free Range Manuka Smoked Whole Hams on the bone Special! $ 16 90 KG Banfields of Beckenham 134A Colombo Street. Ph: 332 6148 Williams is a delegate, has estimated it would cost Wendy’s $1.6 million to pay back employees’ leiu days. MBIE senior labour inspector Kim Baldwin found Wendy’s breached section 56 and 60 of the Holidays Act. Section 56 says an alternative holiday must be provided to an employee who works on a public holiday if that day would otherwise have been a working day for them. Section 60 sets out how those employees should be paid for the alternative holiday. Wendy’s has been ordered to comply with the two sections, conduct a review of its restaurants and keep records of staff contacted, rosters and leave. It has been ordered to give all past and present employees from the Hornby and Dunedin restaurants their alternative holidays, or the equivalent pay since the restaurants were opened. Wendy’s has also been ordered to do the same for all other restaurants across the country backdated to July 1, 2012. Ms Lendich said they thought their interpretation of the law was right and it’s incorrect to say Wendy’s employees have not been receiving alternative holidays. But Mrs Williams believes Wendy’s purposely change their employees shifts so they don’t get lieu days. Ms Lendich said laws about pay need to be black and white and the Holidays Act 2003 needs a “total overhaul.” “Politicians should be more aware of the laws they make around these issues and be totally clear on what the law actually is,” she said. But Mrs Williams said the law doesn’t need changing. She told Southern View she’s had a lot of support from coworkers and friends. •Your views, p7 Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk BUS STOPS TO GO The Halswell-Hornby- Riccarton Community Board approved the removal of eight redundant bus stops in Templeton at its meeting last week. The stops are located on Kirk Rd. The city council was contacted by a resident who stated they had sometimes seen people waiting at the bus stops for a bus which would never come, and requested removal of the signs. BROCKWORTH MURALS The community board also approved a $2000 grant for supplies for the Brockworth Pl murals. The murals are being painted by advocate advisor Damian Holt. The funding was from the board’s 2017-18 Discretionary Response Fund. $10,000 ILAM BURGLARY Jewellery, vitamins and foreign money, to the value of $10,000, has been stolen from an Ilam flat. The house was broken into last week and the burglars took with them what flatmate Carly Fisher is describing as “very sentimental and personal items.” Miss Fisher said it was especially disappointing as they were moving flats in less than a week. Wishing you a happy and safe holiday season Thank you for your continued support, I look forward to working with you in the New Year Kerryn Allan Sunday 10 December 2017 Open to the public from 12 - 4pm Lincoln University Dairy Farm, Shands Road, Lincoln Contact: Kerryn Allan 03 399 3733 or 022 189 6678 www.smartrealestate.co.nz kerryn.allan@smartrealestate.co.nz Licenced under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008
