Teacher pay - is this legal?

Post Body

I'm an NZ high school teacher. I took a Friday and Monday off for a wedding (leave without pay), and the Ministry has docked me 4 days of pay, because apparently they also own my weekends as well as my nights and my soul. How is this legal?? Is it legal? Do i kick up a fuss? I am absolutely seething and about one bad class away from quitting.

ETA: thanks for all the responses. Weirdly enough I now feel like I have grounds to ask for THREE days back, one as an "Important Family Event" leave. Will let you know how that conversation goes.

This is actually how it’s calculated. It sucks but honestly in my eyes all it does is it encourages teachers to take sickies instead of doing it through proper channels.
