flag A New Zealand strike by teachers, doctors, and nurses may leave non-striking workers unpaid if employers suspend them due to halted operations.

flag A major strike involving teachers, doctors, and nurses in New Zealand may leave non-striking workers unpaid if employers suspend them due to lack of work, legal experts say. flag Employers can suspend employees without pay under the Employment Relations Act if operations halt, even if workers aren’t participating. flag Suspended employees can challenge the move through the Employment Relations Authority for potential back pay. flag Employers must clearly identify striking workers and provide proper notice. flag While most schools are offering alternative duties to non-union staff, pay deductions may apply if partial work occurs—though this is unlikely in a full strike.
