The Parliamentary Governance and Administration Committee is conducting an inquiry into FENZ’s fleet management and related issues.
The hearings kick off tomorrow (Wednesday) with FENZ appearing.
The NZPFU FENZ collective agreement includes a payment as an incentive for employees for return to work from parental leave and to remain
employed by FENZ for at least 6 months upon their return.
In May 2023, FENZ unilaterally decided new “policy” in a memo to People Branch staff restricting the payment only to those that applied for
12 months leave and took at least three months leave. The clause does not refer to any requirement to have applied for 12 months leave, or
to have taken at least 3 months leave.
