LGOIMA Request Details: LG2175

LG 2175 - ​Information relating to redundancies and pay-outs within MDC over the past few financial years 

Part of the information you have requested is below. However, we have decided to refuse your request for information which relates to the age bands of the employees, under section 7 (2)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act, in order to protect the privacy of the people involved. 

From 2020 – May 2023 we have had 5 redundancies and the total for all these redundancy payments is $140,448.50.  Due to the size of our Council we are unable to break this figure down any further as it would identify the people involved.  We have had no discretionary redundancy payments. 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz  or freephone 0800 802 602.
