Auckland Local COVID-19 Update #3 Station Staffing

Posted 30 Mar '20 under Auckland Local

Operational Instruction Covid-19 Station Staffing

As Members should now be aware, we are now working in a very different environment, and one the most challenging that the Auckland Fire Brigade has had in it’s long history.

To meet this challenge we are having to make changes to how we normally operate.

These change have been made to help keep you safe and ensure that we can continue to serve our communities. Our communities are now relying on us and our Emergency Service colleagues more than ever.

Please ensure that you read and understand the attached document, as it is a joint effort between FENZ Management and the NZPFU Auckland Local.

Remember, stay safe, wear the appropriate PPE, keep up the hygiene protocols, and maintain social distancing as much as possible.

If anyone has any questions, please contact one of your station delegates.

Return to Work Duties

23 Feb

We have been told that staff wanting to do Return to Work Duties will have to do them at District HQ and they do not intend to reimburse your travel costs, “you are getting an enhanced pay and you can fund your own travel”. We have since got an agreement that the travel distance reimbursement will be paid for travel to District HQ.
