Parole Act 2002

New Zealand Parole Board and amendments to other enactments relating to parole and release generally - General provisions about Board and members

122: Remuneration and expenses of members

You could also call this:

"Pay for people on the Parole Board"

When you are a member of the Board, your pay is decided differently depending on who you are. If you are a District Court Judge or a High Court Judge, the Higher Salaries Commission decides your pay for being on the Board. You get paid for being on the Board, but how much you get paid is decided by the Government. If you are on the Board, it does not mean you work for the Government, according to the Public Service Act 2020 or the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956, just because you are a member.
