“Also what may not be known is that any staff member under paid or not paid by the central system, can and generally does get paid by the school out of their ops grant, so the staff member is not out...

There were exactly the same shrieks from the teachers union when the previous system from Datacom was first introduced. I couldn’t find links to the original implementation, but...

There is no excuse: a) For schools being unable to enter the source data directly to the system and verify it online immediately. b) For schools being unable to verify the forthcoming pay-run details...

Mind you the private scetor aint so hot either. Im in the process of advising a person who has just left a very well known prominent company. His final holiday pay was caluclated at 40% of the actual...

@lastman, yep, for instance at a large multinational I contracted for the payroll run was absolutely sacrosanct. If staff were not paid properly the assembly line would have walked out the next day. It...

As someone with some experience of payroll, its not hard to do, even when people are paid different rates for different roles within the same pay cycle. Personally I think its a system design problem,...

@rolla, how on earth do you get that accuracy? I understand there are about 80,000 payees and the errors are in the thousands per pay cycle. Your number just doesn’t compute.

I understand that the WHOLE Education payroll involved is 90,000 persons.

@ Allan Wilkinson Your figure of thousands of errors per pay cycle is incorrect. The last pay cycle (not the one yesterday) had 167(from my memory as was stated in the house, I think it was last week)...

Even if 167 is correct which I strongly doubt, the error rate is 0.18% and the accuracy is 99.82%. Your number was nonsense. Errors not fixed (often after fixes have been promised in writing) are...

@rolla_fxgt—- If the error rate for novopay is pretty good, then, why is this in the news? I just don’t buy it.

Allan you can’t count the same error twice, that’s just moronic. Campbell didn’t understand that, it was clear from his questioning in his interview last night. He thought there were over 8000 seperate...

@wreck Simple because the unions and most of the NZ education system dislike the National Party, and will use anything they can to blow up an issue to try and embarrass a national government. Though to...

rolla, an error not fixed by the next pay cycle is a new error as far as the payee is concerned. It is just an error of omission rather than commission. Nothing obscure or moronic about that. Whether...

Allan, there is 1 portal to access the errors, both the contractor and MOE have access to it. So both have the same figures. I imagine (going off what happens with other payrolls), there is an end of...

rolla, your interpretation is inconsistent with the Ministry CEO on Campbell Live telling teachers who hadn’t been paid to contact the Ministry directly. If they knew who they were and what the...

The ministry/novopay only know when someone has contacted them, hence when their details go on the report. They have a seprate email address for it, its all on the novopay website. Which is what...

You would have to be a bloody idiot or worse to link the inability to meet the legal requirement to pay workers with the need to change how they are funded or the amount they are paid. All the figures...

And just how ridiculous this infantile posting is is best highlighted by the solution which the blogger would I am sure agree with – there would be no novapay problems at all if we stopped paying...

Yes, tut tut, some sympathy for the teacher but (gasp!) a LABOUR Minister of Education approved the contract four years ago. I guess the teachers deserve to wait for the next Labour government to fix...
