Kia ora Jake Lotter

Thank you for your OIA request received on 5 April 2024 for:
Could you please provide a summary of intern or fixed term junior roles offered by the Ministry or any of its High Commissions/Missions over the last 5 years.

In particular, details about the location and number of roles offered.

Secondly, I am requesting an analysis of these roles offered overseas, and how the employment terms would compare if mapped against minimum employment standards in NZ, including:
- Minimum Wage compliance
- Holiday Pay/ annual leave entitlements
- Sick leave and forge types of leave
- work hours and after hours contracts

To avoid doubt, I am not requesting individual or personal data and suggest that data should be presented in a table with only the location of the role identifying the position.
This email confirms receipt of your request and advises that we will respond to it as soon as reasonably practicable, and in terms of the timeframes and requirements of the OIA.

Please note that our response letter to you (with your personal details redacted), and any enclosed documents, may be published on the Ministry’s website.

Ngâ mihi

Executive Services Division
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade | Manatû Aorere

Tēnā koe Jake Lotter,

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request regarding
intern & fixed term junior roles offered by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and Trade (the Ministry).

 

The information you have requested is not held centrally, as each
division/team and post are responsible for the advertising of roles in
their area, in accordance with official guidelines and  subject to formal
approval processes. As such , collating the information you have requested
would require a search of employment records of every team at the Ministry
which we believe would have an unreasonable impact on this agencies
ability to carry out its other functions.  If we have reason to believe
that responding to an OIA would have such an impact on Ministry
operations, it is likely that OIA will be refused under section 18(f) of
the OIA, that the information requested cannot be made available without
substantial collation or research.

 

Therefore, we ask if you would be willing to narrow the scope of your
request to information regarding intern or fixed-term junior roles in a
specific overseas geographic region, or with a specific division or post?
 

 

We would appreciate if you could please let us know by 17 April
(Wednesday). If we do not hear from you by this date, the Ministry will
proceed with the wording of your original request.

Please note that any clarification or amendment of a request is considered
to be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory
timeframe for response (section 15(1AA) of the OIA refers).

Ngā mihi,

 

 

Executive Services Division
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade | Manatū Aorere
