Who does what?

[leenok]

Hi guys,

I saw this on another forum and thought it was a good idea (hope it hasn't been done before).
Everyone posted their jobs so that if they could be of assistance it was easy to find someone near who could help.
My job unfortunately doesn't really help anyone (unless you own a telecoms company) I'm a telecoms network support engineer.
Ok, what do you do?

Cheers

Lee

[Krayy]

Just to be different, I dont work for Telecom (although the job before this one I worked for EDS doing Unix systems support for Xtra).

I contract my services out to IBM as a professional web-surfer and occaisionally do some Unix sysadmin, system monitoring and security compliance work when theres no more interesting threads to read on KB.

I'd work from home, but I can't get my ISP to get my frickin ADSL connection to work properly because apparantly theres no DSLAM in the Mt Albert exchange, so the connection has to sync to one in Airedale St which is 11kms from my place. Bugger.

If anyone knows who to complain to in Telecom about the lack of ADSL network equipment, PM me please.

Should do mate. I get 4 weeks now cos 1 week is a bonus for long service, I'm looking forward to getting 5 weeks and I have no worries involving the Union if necessary. yee ha:motu:

Check out the wording of your agreement. If it says something like "you get an additional week leave for long service" then you should be sweet. If however it says something like "you get a fourth week leave for long service" then you may not necessarily get another week when April next year rolls around.

Check out the wording of your agreement.

I think it'll be bloody difficult for any company not to maintain the extra week leave for long service, I'd say it would be highly likely that any tribunal would come down on the side of the employee if you were forced to test it.

Where I'd expect it to be much less clear cut is where you may have, for example, negotiated four weeks leave before starting a job. In this case it'll probably come down to how much they want to keep you sweet.

All depends on the wording of your contract, if its something like you will be entitled to 1 extra week once you have been employeed for xmany years then you will keep your extra week ontop of the change, if not it gets grey, talk to your employer about it, see what there take is on the situation

[MisterD]

That kind of thing is usually in the staff handbook rather than individual contracts, and anyway the senior management will probably set a useful precedent by looking after themselves!

Yes, where the word 'extra' or 'additional' is used there'll be no problem. Where '4 weeks' is specified though it will be interesting. Some employers will play ball, others won't be in a position to. In our particular organisation we might have 150 employees already on 4 weeks. An extra week on top for those ones pushing them up to 5 weeks will cost us about $90,000 in one hit. A big multi-national may be in a position to soak that up. We're a non-profit organisation though so avoiding a $90k hit is significant to us. So, different organisations will do things differently.

the 4th week (20days) holiday which comes into effect 1st april 07 is entitlement to all employees (full-time & part-time) who have completed 12mths employment for the same employer. it can be calculated at either days ( basically for part-timers who work only x amount of days per week) or by the std 5day/40hr working week. it is a consequential entitlement to the employees & the entitlement also allows for the holidays to be no less than 2wks uninterupted. this is also seperate from statutory holiday provisions of 10.4 days average per year

long service entitlements are a seperate entity & are dependant on the employers choices of calculation. an NZEU report says that 93% of employees have contracts that entitle the worker to an additional weeks holiday after a period of service, mostly after 6yrs. and is roughly .8% of total employee costs & .3% of nominal GDP
