"Keeping Records for Support Workers' Pay"

Illustration for Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlements Act 2017

You need to keep records for each support worker you employ. You must record the qualifications they hold and how long they have been working for you. You will use these records to support extra funding. If a funder asks, you must give them these records and the wages and time records you keep under section 130 of the Employment Relations Act 2000. This includes how much you pay each support worker and their work hours. You must provide this information when asked. If you do not keep these records or do not give them to the funder when asked, you can be penalised under the Employment Relations Act 2000. The Employment Relations Authority will decide the penalty. You must follow these rules to avoid a penalty.
