Dear John

Official Information Act 1982 request – ENZ salary information
I refer to your official information act request (OIA), received by Education New
Zealand (ENZ) on 7 February 2023:
I am requesting under the official information act information about all the
positions in the ENZ where the position holder is paid more than $150,000 per
annum. My request covers both permanent employees and any contractors or
consultants.
Please provide a list of all the positions that meet the criteria ($150,000 or
more), listed by business group in the ENZ, and for each please provide the full
position title, and the associated remuneration and an indication of whether the
position is filled by a permanent employee or a contractor/consultant or other. I
am comfortable if you wish to provide the remuneration information in salary
bands or ranges or similar, provided they are not too large. I note that SSC
uses ranges of $10,000 when identifying chief executive remuneration which
would be an acceptable range for my request.
For context can you please also provide me with the total number of staff in
each business group.
If it would make complying with this request easier, I am happy to accept
slightly older information, E.g. it does not need to be accurate as at the date of
this request, provided it is dated within the last 12 months, and you identify the
applicable date.
The information you have requested (as at 31 January 2023) is provided in the
tables below. The information includes position holders who are based
offshore. For locally engaged staff based offshore, the annualised remuneration
is shown in the New Zealand dollar equivalent.
ENZ has decided to refuse your request for narrower remuneration rates under
section 9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act 1982 to protect the privacy of
natural persons. The actual remuneration placement within the salary band
can be negotiated by staff on an individual basis. We have therefore released
this information showing the remuneration associated with each salary band.
