Sent: Thursday, 6 July 2023 2:35 pm
Subject: LGOIMA – overseas employees

I refer to your LGOIMA request of 29 June 2023 regarding council employees working remotely overseas, specifically:

• How many employees does the council have working remotely from overseas?
  • In each instance, please outline the salary grading for the employee and the location from which they are working.
• For each employee that is working overseas, please give a reason why this has been granted and whether this was signed off by (according to council rules) human resources and their manager.
• Please highlight how long each employee has been working from overseas.

I can confirm that Rotorua Lakes Council does not have any employees working remotely from overseas.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this response/decision. The Ombudsman’s Office can be contacted by calling 0800 802 602, emailing info@ombudsman.parliament.nz, online at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.
