All part-time employees will be eligible for public holiday time off with pay. Employees may take the unpaid 30 minute lunch break in two 15 minute periods if the employee wishes. Employers will also be required to post in the workplace government-supplied information on employee rights and responsibilities. The real problem, however, is enforcement. The Ministry of Labour's budget has been cut dramatically under the current government and enforcement provisions have been weakened.
Enforcement is reactive based on complaints received rather than proactive.
