Instead of working for the next two weeks in TeKauwhata we will be traveling. To work for NZLocums, a CGS is required. During the application period, Will had his CGS (Certificate of Good Standing) sent via the postal service which is the requirement. DORA, Department of Regulatory Agencies, is responsible for providing these certificates. The CGS has to be given within three months of Will's starting date. NZLocums and Will thought that we were within the three month period as Orientation started Jan. 9th, but since he doesn't start working until Jan. 16th it is over the 3 month period. Another certificate must be sent from the states. An email is not sufficient.
This was a major disappointment, but we are trying to adapt and switch gears. Since we are in Wellington, the southern tip of the north island, tomorrow we will be taking a ferry to the south island. We will rent a car and travel for 2 weeks. Then Will plans to work for 2 weeks in TeKauwhata. Let's hope that all the paperwork arrives!!!
I hope you have a great time on your unexpected vacation. With your new gadget on the computer will you be able to keep posting to the blog while you travel?
ReplyDeleteStill disappointing though, when you were all geared up to start in TeKauwhata. One little week later and the certificate would have still been valid?!
