flag NZ raises mileage reimbursement for home support workers to offset fuel costs.

flag New Zealand will temporarily raise mileage reimbursement for home support workers from 63.5 to 82.5 cents per kilometer to help offset rising fuel costs, effective immediately. flag The change applies to workers at Health New Zealand, the Ministry of Social Development, and ACC, remaining in place for up to 12 months or until 91 octane petrol drops below $3 per liter for four consecutive weeks. flag While the government frames the move as a timely, targeted response to global price pressures, unions and workers criticize the increase as insufficient and a temporary fix failing to address systemic underfunding.
