Contact Energy powers up its parental leave provisions

From Nine To Noon, 9:35 am on 14 November 2022

Contact Energy has launched a new paid parental leave policy it believes is among one of the most generous in the country.

It includes 26 weeks' of salary top up for primary caregivers, a $5000 childcare koha, employer Kiwisaver contributions of three per cent while on leave, paid partner's leave of four weeks and three months of free power after baby is born.

Contact's chief people officer Jan Bibby joins Kathryn to discuss the change.
