FENZ has notified the NZPFU that they will be uploading and testing the new pay rates from mid-January for the new pay rates to be paid on 10 February (backdated to 1 July 2020).

As part of that preparation there will be a payroll freeze from 11 Jan – 25 Jan while FENZ upload and test data.

This will only impact anyone who is changing grade or pay during that time and is covered by the NZPFU FENZ collective agreement.  FENZ will make the change after the freeze and backdate accordingly.

Anyone leaving or being employed in that period will be processed as normal.

In unity,
Wattie Watson
