## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Extract the role, hours, leave taken and pay from the file into a fact sheet.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 September 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Differs from Australia: minimum entitlements come from New Zealand employment statutes, not a modern award.
- Stop if the draft still cites a modern award, BOOT or the Fair Work Ombudsman.
