Subject: Official Information request - Notice period for teachers
terminated for being unvaccinated

 

[You don't often get email from

important at [7]https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

 

Dear Ministry of Education,

Please share the information sent to Tapawera School on notice pay in 2021
for terminating employment due to vaccination status.

 

Specifically, I request the email from Callum Brooker, Employment
Relations Advisor on or around 21 December 2021 which goes something
like.... "The Ministry's advice to schools is that upon notice of
termination, the teacher should be paid two months of regular salary, and
their entitled holiday pay on top of this."

 

I assume there was written advice for schools on education staff who were
unvaccinated and the required notice period for pay. Please would you
share this written advice as well from Dec 2021 until Feb 2022.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Erika Whittome
