Currently waiting for a response from Fire and Emergency New Zealand, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: A Whittle

Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,

In addition to the questions asked in an earlier OIA regarding how the 2021 market rate salary increase effective from 1 July 2021 affected 'grandparented' salaries from Sept 27, 2021:
- did any staff on a 'grandparented' salary who did not retain the 1 July 2021 annual or market rate salary increase after the restructure took effect from 27 Sept 2021, but were paid the increase for the period 1 July 2021 to 26 Sept 2021, query why the increase was not retained?
- of those, how many were successful in retaining the 1 July 2021 salary increase through the 'grandparent' period (beyond 27 Sept 2021)?
- did all 'grandparented' staff either revert back to, or remain on, their salary at the level it was prior to the 1 July 2021 increase?

Yours faithfully,

AW
