Kia ora John

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 of 19
January 2022 seeking the following information:

 

Please provide a copy of the Authority's mobile phone usage and
reimbursement policy (in relation to the use of a mobile phone with its
usage fee paid for, in full or in part, by the Authority, regardless of
whether the phone was supplied by the Authority to an employee or
contractor, or whether the employee/contractor provided its own phone).

 

The term "reimbursement" in this request may refer to any reimbursement
policy where the Authority requests the employee/contractor to reimburse
the Authority for private usage, or where the Authority
subsidises/reimburses an employee/contractor for business usage of a
mobile service not paid for by the Authority.

 

You can expect to receive a response to your request on or before 17
February 2022. You will be contacted again if there is a likelihood that
this timeframe cannot be met.

 

As you may know requests for official information become official
information once received.  As part of the processing of requests for
official information, NZQA may need to consult with relevant third
parties.  During the consultation, a third party may ask for the identity
of the individual/organisation requesting the information.

 

o If you are an individual making a request, please advise us whether or
not you would have an objection to disclosing your identity if a third
party asks for your identity, and the reasons for your objection.   

 

o If you are an individual making a request on behalf of an organisation
please advise us both whether you personally have an objection to
disclosing your identity, and the reasons for your objection, as well
as any objection to identifying the organisation, together with
reasons.

 

o NZQA will consider your reasons and whether they fit with any
withholding grounds under the Privacy Act 2020 or the Official
Information Act 1982.

 

For any enquiries about your request, please contact
[1][email address].

 

If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right, under
section 28(3) of the Official Information Act 1982, to lodge a complaint
with the Office of the Ombudsman at [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. You
can also telephone 0800 802 502 or write to the Ombudsman at PO Box 10152,
Wellington, 6143.
