Issues with pay / travel claims / allowances

Posted 18 Oct '19 under Auckland Local

Recently we have been advised of issues around members’ pay, travel claims and allowances.

In order to assist members with their issues, Committee Representatives have been appointed to station clusters throughout the three Auckland Areas.

Area 3 Waitemata
North Shore - Adam Wright
Waitakere - Ivan Millan

Area 4 Auckland City
Central - Jamie Whitehead
West - Steve Devine
East - John Waldow

Area 5 Counties Manukau
Jeff Shrimpton

If a member has any issue with their pay, travel claims or allowances, please make contact with your local Station Cluster Representative in the first instance.

This will allow the Local to properly collate and look into each member’s issue, identify any relevant trends that may be occurring and address these with FENZ as and when required.

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.
