Auckland City Council is dedicated to helping employees balance work with life at home. Our benefits and work-life balance initiatives make certain our people can fulfil and enjoy their work and family, friends and recreational pursuits.
We are committed to helping our employees to have a work-life balance and have a number of initiatives that support this e.g. parental leave: three months paid parental leave to eligible employees (male and female). This provision is in addition to the taxpayer-funded scheme.
