Dear Information Request team,
Thanks for your reply.
I need no names, or any contact details.
I am only requesting salary and benefit details for the roles, rather than for the individuals.
Yours sincerely,

Kia ora James,
We are just reaching out to advise you that some information about the

Specifically, it states that:
Pay varies across these roles due to the wide range of duties,
responsibilities and specialist skills many of these roles entail. Most
employees benefit from pay progression within their pay band as well as an
annual review of the pay band. Base salary for District-based operational
managers ranges from $151,000-$202,000.

Dear Official Information Requests,
Thanks for this.
It doesnt quite answer the question sorry - it doesnt give the range of District Manager vs Group Manager pay (i.e. what are group managers paid, and what are district managers paid, and what the agreement is around private use of vehicles).
Thanks so much for coming back to me,
Yours sincerely,
James
