Restructure Process Information
A Boocock made this Official Information request to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
The request was partially successful.
From: A Boocock
Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,
Thank you for your OIA response dated 15 Oct 2021.
This has raised additional questions. Please provide the following:
1) The ETP (Final, Jan 2020, para 47, p. 10) states that "... the organisation will clearly set out who will be able to apply and be considered for these [new and vacant] positions, and in what order".
Please provide the document (and the reference within) which outlines who could apply for the Group Manager positions and in what order, as well as the order of preference for redeployment.
2) If the ETP did not apply to those on fixed term employment agreements, why were they not able to apply along with 'affected' employees for the Group Manager roles?
3) As for #2 above, why were those on fixed term employment agreements then able to apply along with 'impacted' employees for the remaining GM positions?
4) Why were those no longer working for FENZ able to apply for GM positions which were not advertised on the open market? You refer in your response to successful GM applicants who had "previously worked for the organisation" - this would indicate they were no longer employed by FENZ at the time of applying.
5) Did any 'affected' staff who were unsuccessful in the first round of interviews for GM, then apply again during the second round of appointments?
6) If so, did their applications proceed to interview and were they successful in being appointed?
7) Please supply any correspondence from SLDT or the ELT which provided guidance or clarity around whether or not 'affected' staff who were unsuccessful during the first round of GM appointments, could reapply along with 'impacted' and others during the second round of GM appointments.
8) If 'affected' staff were excluded from re-applying, please provide the rationale behind this.
9) The last two appointees to the new Canterbury District GM roles were of 'impacted' or other status. I understand one of these was perhaps interviewed outside of Christchurch?
- if outside Christchurch, where was this interview held?
- who was on the interview panel?
- please provide both sets of interview questions that were specifically put to these appointees
Yours faithfully,
A Boocock
