Q: I’m struggling to find information on how much rest time an employee should have before they start a new shift.
Would you be able to point me to the relevant legislation(s) regarding this issue, please?
A: There is nothing in legislation about a rest before a shift. The legislation is about the rest break and email breaks while working: https://www.privacy.org.nz/responsibilities/poupou-matatapu-doing-privacy-well/security-and-internal-access-controls/#disposing
