[FYI request #12830 email]
Dear Mike
Thank you for your email of 11 May 2020 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982:
•
information about all the positions in the ministry where the position holder is paid
more than $200,000 per annum.
•
My request covers both permanent employees and any contractors or consultants.
•
Please provide a list of all the positions that meet the criteria ($200,000 or more),
listed by business group in the Ministry, and for each please provide the full position
title, and the associated remuneration and an indication of whether the position is
fil ed by a permanent employee or a contractor/consultant or other.
•
I am comfortable if you wish to provide the remuneration information in salary bands
or ranges or similar, provided they are not too large. I note that SSC uses ranges of
$10,000 when identifying chief executive remuneration which would be an acceptable
range for my request.
•
For context can you please also provide me with the total number of staff in each
business group.
The Ministry needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request, pursuant to
section 15A(1)(b) of the Act, as consultations necessary to make a decision on the request
are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original
time limit. For this reason, you can expect to receive a response to your request by 30 June
2020.
Please be advised that should you have any concerns regarding this extension you have the
right to ask an Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend the timeframe. You can do
this by writing to
[email address] or Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box
10152, Wellington 6143.
Yours sincerely
Lorraine Monahan
