Ref: 2324-1827

 

Dear Erika,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 25 February 2024 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

‘1. Would you please share the minutes, emails and any correspondence and
policy documents for the creation of template letters you supplied to
organizations in 2021/2022 for an employer to terminate an employee due to
their vaccination status?

2. Kindly also share the template letters themselves you shared with
organizations or businesses for example,  all letters template covering
the following topics:

 

"Notice of Termination of Employment", "Mandatory Vaccine Order – Notice
of termination of your employment", "Termination letter", "Proposal to
Terminate Employment ", "Requirement to Stand Down (from Work) ",
"Invitation to Meeting to discuss vaccination status" , "Invitation to
attend a meeting regarding the Public Health order that affects your
current role/ tasks" , "Public health order outcome order - Confirmation
of variation of tasks".

 

Please note that your template letters may not have the same names as I
have listed above, but I am sure you get my drift on the kinds of letters
I am requesting which you supplied businesses, organizations and other
crown entities eg to the Ministry of Education etc.

 

3. Please include any legal discussions and legal advice for the creation
and feedback on these letters, especially when the advice refers to
specific sections of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and to
specific sections of the Employment Relations Act 2000 as the basis for
any of the statements in the template letters.’

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 22 March 2024 , being 20 working days after the day your
request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then,
we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.  

If you have any enquiries regarding your request feel free to contact us
via email to [1][MBIE request email].
