Dear Mr Russell,
In response to your Official Information Act request of 30 November 2014
requesting information related to staff bonuses and a rewards system, I
can confirm that the Ministry does not pay bonuses to any staff or provide
any other reward in recognition of performance.
I am therefore unable to provide any information under section 18(e) of
the Official Information Act 1982, as it does not exist.
I hope you find this information helpful. You have the right to seek an
investigation and review of my response by the Ombudsman, whose address
for contact purposes is:
The Ombudsman
Office of the Ombudsman
PO Box 10-152
WELLINGTON 6143
Regards,

They actually have until Jan 19. The OIA counts 25 Dec through 15 Jan as non-working days. An oversight on FYI means we didn't have those dates set up (this should be corrected soon). Sorry about that.
