From: Adam Jones Advocacy [mailto:advocate@bet.org.nz] Sent: Wednesday, 9 March 2016 7:58 p.m.To: S Joyce (MIN)Cc: J Key (MIN)Subject: Holiday Pay Calculations Dear Minister, I object to today's comment about incorrect holiday pay calculations, specifically when you said "Well I think we need to be clear that it's actually at the margins, you know, these are quite small amounts" (One News, Mar 9). Excuse me for asking, but what about the so-called little guy? A solo mother in Otara who can't work for a week due illness and is relying on that eighty bucks holiday pay to feed the kids? The young dude working three casual jobs and struggling to pay rent between paydays? Someone banking on their sixty dollars due in holiday pay for new shoes while on sale? Hypothetical examples, sure, but people such as these represent constituents you were elected to serve and they exist, Minister. Marginal amounts of holiday pay are important to people living on the margins! Accordingly, perhaps you would be kind enough to please clarify your comment in greater detail. Best regards,  Andy CalderSpokesperson: Breadline Education TrustP: +64 22 xxxxxxx | E: advocate@bet.org.nz This e-mail message and accompanying data may contain information that is confidential and subject to legal privilege.  If you are not the intended recipient, you are notified that any use, dissemination, distribution or copying of this message or data is prohibited.
