Special rules for junior doctors and teachers
If you are a junior doctor working for a district health board (DHB) or a teacher employed by a school board of trustees the following rules apply:
- If you are a junior doctor and you are required to rotate between different DHBs as part of your compulsory training, your length of service with each employing DHB will be added together for the purposes of determining whether you meet the six or 12 month criteria for leave and payments. You will still need to meet the hours of work test.
- If you are a teacher employed by multiple boards of trustees during the eligibility period, those jobs are counted together in determining whether you meet the six or 12 month criteria for leave and payments. You will still need to meet the hours of work test.
