Employees working from overseas
Rep Albert made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Rep Albert to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Rep Albert
Dear Ministry of Education,
With the Government directive to reduce the public sector spending, I am doing some research for a news piece of employees working remotely from overseas. So, under the OIA Act, I would like to get an answer for the following questions:
1- How many employees (permanent and fixed-term) are working remotely from overseas? (Focusing on Fiji and Australia)
2 - Which division or directorate those employees are assigned to? (Please list the division/directorate and the number of employees working from overseas)
3 - What is the business justification to have those employees working remotely from overseas?
4 - Which position within the Ministry approved the overseas remote work?
5 - With the public service cuts, how do we justify having employees working overseas while people in New Zealand will lose their jobs?
Thank you for these answers
Yours faithfully,
Rep Albert
