For current & former staff

Holidays Act Remediation

We’re putting things right for staff who weren’t paid correctly for their leave. If you’ve ever worked for Te Roopu Taurima, we want to hear from you.

Who this is for

You should read on if any of the following apply to you:

●
Current staff
You currently work for Te Roopu Taurima in any role.

←
Former staff
You worked for Te Roopu Taurima at any point in the past.

♡
On someone’s behalf
You’re acting for a former staff member — for example, an executor of an estate.

What we are doing — and why

Like many New Zealand employers, we have found that some leave payments over the past several years were calculated incorrectly under the Holidays Act 2003. We are working through every staff record, recalculating what each person is owed, and paying back what we owe.

To pay you correctly, we need to confirm who you are and where to send the money. That’s what the secure portal is for.

How the process works

Register your interest
Fill in a short form with your name, date of birth, contact details, and one piece of information that helps us match you — your old employee ID, last role, or the last 4 digits of your IRD number.
We verify and email you a secure link
Our payroll team checks the registration against our records. Once confirmed, you’ll receive an email with a one-time secure link.
You complete the secure form
The link opens a form for your bank account, IRD number, KiwiSaver settings, and a copy of your photo ID. Sensitive information is encrypted as it arrives.
We pay you
Once we have your details and our calculation is finalised, the back-pay is deposited directly to your bank account.

The online registration portal opens shortly.

In the meantime, if you’d like to register your interest, ask a question, or get help, please email remediation@terooputaurima.org.nz. Someone from the TRT payroll team will get back to you.

How we protect your information

We take privacy seriously. Everything you share through this process is handled under the Privacy Act 2020:

The portal uses HTTPS for everything sent between your device and us.
Sensitive information (bank account, IRD number, ID document) is encrypted before it’s stored.
Only authorised Te Roopu Taurima payroll staff can access your information.
Every access is logged and reviewed.
Your information is kept only as long as tax law requires, then securely destroyed.

Common questions

Do I have to do anything if I’m still employed by Te Roopu Taurima?

Yes. We’d like every current and former staff member to go through the same process so we can confirm your details and pay you correctly.

I left years ago and don’t have my old employee ID — does that matter?

Not at all. You can match against your last role and location, or the last 4 digits of your IRD number. Our payroll team has the records to find you.

What if a former staff member has passed away?

Their estate may still be entitled to back pay. Please email remediation@terooputaurima.org.nz and we’ll talk you through it.

How do I know this isn’t a scam?

Fair question. Genuine emails from us will come from an address ending in @terooputaurima.org.nz, and the registration portal lives on a subdomain of this website. If you’re ever unsure, type the address into your browser yourself or call us before clicking any link.

How long does this take, end to end?

Once you submit your details through the secure portal, processing typically takes a few weeks. We’ll email you when the payment has been made.
