由于工作人员短缺和系统过时,新西兰医生在未用假期中欠650万美元。 New Zealand doctors owe $6.5M in unused leave due to staffing shortages and outdated systems.

新西兰卫生部称,新西兰医院一名高级医生未用年假欠127万美元,前10名医生共欠650万美元。 A senior New Zealand hospital doctor is owed $1.27 million in unused annual leave, with the top ten doctors collectively owed $6.5 million, according to Health NZ. 出现高额应计现象的原因是,由于人员短缺和难以获得临时保费,特别是在高需求或农村服务方面,许多年的未用休假未能兑现。 The high accruals stem from years of unmet leave due to staffing shortages and difficulty securing locum cover, particularly in high-demand or rural services. 新西兰卫生部缺乏一个统一的数字系统来跟踪其90,000名雇员的假期结余,它说医生享有慷慨的休假权利——每年6周加教育和休假,但无法兑现未用时间。 Health NZ, which lacks a unified digital system to track leave balances across its 90,000 employees, says doctors receive generous leave entitlements—six weeks annually plus education and sabbatical leave—but cannot cash out unused time. 联盟领导人和专家警告说,这种情况构成重大的财政和业务风险,因为有些医生因包括圣诞节假期在内的拒绝休假而辞职。 Union leaders and experts warn the situation poses major financial and operational risks, as some doctors have quit over denied leave, including Christmas holidays. 尽管为改善数字整合作出了努力,但数据系统支离破碎妨碍了透明度和员工队伍规划,引起了对工作人员耗竭和系统可持续性的担忧。 Despite efforts to improve digital integration, fragmented data systems hinder transparency and workforce planning, raising concerns about staff burnout and system sustainability.
