Your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-004737 
Thank you for your email of 29 April 2020, asking for the following information under the Official 
Information Act 1982 (the Act): 
 
•  Can you please advise if anyone, including the CEO, and anyone else at ACC have taken pay cuts and 
by how much? 
 
To be eligible to request official information under section 12 of the Act, you must be: 
•  a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident;  
•  a person in New Zealand; or 
•  a corporate entity (that is, a company or an incorporated society) which is either incorporated in 
New Zealand or has a place of business here 
 
ACC requires a postal address to establish compliance with section 12. An original of any one of the 
following items is acceptable, provided it is on letterhead and shows your name and address: 
• 
A recent bill from the company who supplies your power, gas, water, phone or internet services 
• 
Council rates notice 
• 
A statement from any bank 
• 
Insurance policy document 
• 
A letter from the Electoral Office 
• 
Anything from a government agency that includes your name and address 
 
Once ACC receives this additional information from you and is satisfied that the requirements of section 12 
have been met, ACC will acknowledge the request and begin to consider its decision under the Act. The 20 
working days for making a decision on your request will begin from the day ACC receives confirmation of 
your postal address. 
 
If you have any questions, you can email me at [email address]. If you are not happy with 
this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do 
this is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.
