新西兰提高了家庭辅助工作者里程补偿,以抵消燃料成本. NZ raises mileage reimbursement for home support workers to offset fuel costs.

新西兰将暂时提高家庭支持工作人员的里程补偿费用,从每公里的63.5美分增加到82.5美分以帮助抵消燃料成本上升. 立即生效. 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. 这一变化适用于新西兰卫生部,社会发展部和ACC的工人, 工作时间长达12个月或直到91汽油连续四周下降到每升3美元以下. 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. 虽然政府将此举视为及时,针对全球价格压力的回应, 但工会和工人批评这一增加不足且暂时的解决方案无法解决系统性资金不足. 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.
