Currently waiting for a response from Ministry of Health, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).
From: Erika Whittome
Dear Ministry of Health,
In another OIA request HNZ00049846, information was shared about a pilot program about a vaccination in workplaces program for the covid19 disease. This OIA information is here https://fyi.org.nz/request/26354/respons...
I refer to doc 1:
"COVID-19 messages for Business NZ meeting - 9 July 2021 "
Page 5 of this document says:
"Reminder that most organisations have no legal authority to mandate vaccination in their workers unless it is included in their signed terms and conditions, but a strong
communication programme is encouraged, with reminders to rely on recognised sources."
Would you kindly share the advice, correspondent, emails, meeting minutes etc that came about to make this reminder about legal authority to mandate vaccination unless it is included in the terms and conditions in a worker's contract.
Yours faithfully,
Erika Whittome
