Dear Willie Jackson,
Could you please explain who is responsible for implementing new Employment Standards legislation? How much notice is given prior to enactment and who does it?
I am particularly interested in when the 1 Apr 2016 Employment standards Legislation commencement date applied to individual and collective agreements and how Parliament ensured there was extensive nationwide coverage of it.
Could you please provide the details of exactly who Parliament notified about the 1 Apr 2016 Employment legislation commencement dates i.e. which media outlets, businesses, employer forums, law firms/NZ Law Society, unions etc. were notified of this and when.
If you need any more information from me, please let me know as soon as possible.
With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am a NZ citizen and in NZ.

Kia ora
Thank you for contacting Hon Willie Jackson - Minister of Employment and
Associate Minister for Māori Development. The Minister considers all
correspondence important and appreciates you taking the time to write to
him.
As the Minister receives a large amount of correspondence, it is not
always possible to personally reply to all emails.
The following guidelines apply:
Invitations to attend or speak at events, or requests to meet with the
Minister will be processed as soon as possible and a staff member will be
in touch shortly.
All media queries will be responded to by a staff member.
Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with the
provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may require a
transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio responsibilities,
expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple Members of Parliament,
then your opinion will be noted and your correspondence may be transferred
to another office, or there may be no further response to you.
If your correspondence is to the Minister as a Member of Parliament for
South Auckland, the electorate in which he is based in, this will be
referred to his electorate office.
Thank you again for taking the time to write to the Minister.
Ngā mihi
