Good Morning,

 

I am just checking that your request is for the total number of people who
worked during the 2012/13 financial year whose rate of pay is less than
$18.40 per hour irrespective of how many hours they may have worked.  This
would include casual staff or temporary staff who only worked for a few
hours during the whole year. 

 

I could also provide the information as at a specific date, or in FTEs. 
This would provide a more accurate number perhaps.

 

Thank you in anticipation of this clarification.

 

Kind Regards

 

Wayne

Dear Wayne Wilson,

For purpose sof consistency with other requests, I'm after the total number. However, you could always follow GWRC's lead (https://fyi.org.nz/request/1283-number-o...) and note that some number (or all) of the employees in any age bracket were casual.

Yours sincerely,

Alex Harris

Hi Alex,

 

The number of staff employed during the 2012/13 financial year who earned
less than $18.40 whilst employed was 168.  Of these 34 were not employed
at the end of the year.  Therefore you could say that 134 positions are
paid less than $18.40 per hour.  The breakdown as per your request is as
follows"

 

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Age | Casual | Temporary | Permanent | Total |
|---------------+------------+---------------+---------------+-----------|
|Under 18 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
|---------------+------------+---------------+---------------+-----------|
|18 - 24 | 13 | 10 | 13 | 36 |
|---------------+------------+---------------+---------------+-----------|
|25 - 34 | 6 | 1 | 16 | 23 |
|---------------+------------+---------------+---------------+-----------|
|35 – 44 | 3 | 2 | 18 | 23 |
|---------------+------------+---------------+---------------+-----------|
|45 - 54 | 4 | 4 | 37 | 45 |
|---------------+------------+---------------+---------------+-----------|
|55 – 64 | 2 | 0 | 26 | 28 |
|---------------+------------+---------------+---------------+-----------|
|65+ | 3 | 1 | 9 | 13 |
