Holidays Act Remediation – Important Information for former Tetra Tech Coffey Employees in New Zealand
Tetra Tech Coffey NZ Ltd in collaboration with KPMG, has undertaken a comprehensive review to ensure compliance with New Zealand’s Holidays Act 2003. This review identified discrepancies in holiday pay calculations affecting some past employees. We are committed to rectifying these issues and ensuring all affected employees receive their entitled payments.
What is the Holidays Act Remediation?
The Holidays Act 2003 sets out entitlements to annual holidays, public holidays, sick leave, bereavement leave, and other types of leave. Our review has highlighted some historical issues with how these entitlements were calculated. The remediation process aims to correct these discrepancies and make the necessary payments to all impacted employees.
If I am impacted, what will happen?
An assessment has been completed on past employees to understand if they have been impacted. Tetra Tech Coffey will reach out directly to former employees that are due a remediation payment and advise them of the claims process. Contact will be attempted via the past known email and mailing address on record. Alternatively, if you believe you could be impacted but have not received an email or letter, then you can contact Tetra Tech Coffey at [email protected]
There is a process in place that will require validation of your identity and confirmation of some other details such as your bank account.
What if I my contact details have changed since I left Tetra Tech Coffey?
If you have updated your contact details or moved house since leaving Tetra Tech Coffey please feel free to provide us with your updated contact details by emailing us at [email protected] . This will ensure we can contact you easily when we are ready to send a communication to you.
