More Lies from Secretary Lesley Longstone regarding Novopay

The Ministry is a signatory to the collective agreements and as such has a liability to the teachers affected by their inaction regarding Novopay error. Teachers should not be forced to attempt redress from innocent schools. That the Minister Hekia Parata and her associate Minister Craig Foss find the Dishonesty of the Staff of the Ministry of education acceptable is incredible and it calls into question the validity and reliability of all advice from the Ministry. The Ministry seems more like a headless dragon than a cohesive force for the advancement of education in this country.

I attempted to phone the senior management at Talent2 and was told by their telephonist that she was not allowed to transfer calls through. I left my details but the call hasn’t been returned after 8 days.
