Submitters were divided into two camps: business owners and the employees. The business owners are the ones who put themselves on the line. They've taken the risk and employed people. They understand where money comes from. Employees, as human nature dictates, will often take what they can get, and a number of submitters thought that they deserved not two but four weeks' sick pay. They are currently being enabled by a Government who has a very skewed position on what makes the world go round. ACT opposes this extra burden for employers, especially in today's environment. Employees are currently entitled to four weeks' annual leave, 12 stat holidays—that's over six weeks. They've got five days' sick pay. They've got family violence leave, and whatever comes next. Employers are up against it constantly. To suggest that sick leave is not abused and used as annual leave, like some have suggested, by many employees shows a great ignorance and a lack of understanding of what goes on in the actual workforce—unless, of course, you're looking at it through the union eyes.
