Absenteeism. It's long been the bane of employers. Lost productivity. The direct and indirect impact on profit.
Paying people to do nothing.
The impaired mental health and motivation of absentees.

This is so wrong, first it is an added cost to the tax payer, second it does nothing to improve productivity, third businesses with fewer than 100 employees who have little "fat" to cope with the downturn and who comprise the vast majority of NZ businesses are excluded.
What should happen is that workers work a full ten day week but only get paid for nine days. A 10% pay cut is better than no job.
oops, I mean 10 day fortnight.

Roger Douglas on RadioNZ: what we need s people to work say 120 hours / fornight and get paid for "5 days" at current rates.

The sooner we get this fix the sooner we will recover
Its all to complicated for my simple mind.
A fair days wages for a good days work I reckon.

And note that under Labour's employment laws - still in force under National - this is illegal
