Strikes and lockouts - Rights of union in relation to specified pay deductions

95F: Employer must respond to request for information about application or calculation of specified pay deduction

You could also call this:

"Employers must give information about pay deductions when asked, in writing, as soon as possible."

If you are an employer and you get a request for information about a pay deduction, you must give the union the information they ask for. You have to provide all the information you used to work out the pay deduction, as stated in section 95A, and explain how you calculated it, as stated in section 95C(1) and (2) or the 10% deduction under section 95C(3). You also have to explain how you applied this to deduct from the employee's salary or wages, as stated in section 95A.

You must give the union this information in writing, and you have to do it as soon as you can after you get the request. You can find more information about how this law applies by looking at section 95E, which is the law that allows the union to ask for this information.

You have to follow the rules set out in the law, which includes providing the information and explanation as soon as reasonably practicable after you receive the request.
