Kia ora Erika,

raising any personal grievances on that matter in relation to the Covid 19

We are contacting you to clarify part of your request.

Employee situations were run out of the Ministry of Innovation, Business
and Employment (MBIE). Manatû Hauora did not provide direct advice to
employers/employees. MBIE papers and websites are publicly available and
that is about all of the information we hold. This request aligns more
with the functions of MBIE. As such, could you please clarify if you
seeking advice from MBIE or Manatû Hauora in regard to advice for
employers on vaccine safety and personal grievances?

Please note, under section 15 of the Official Information Act 1982, any
clarification or amendments made to a request within seven days after the
date it is received, that request may be treated as a new request and the
time limit for the response restarts.

We look forward to receiving your response.
