Teachers unions taking Novopay to court

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 18 July 2019

The NZEI and PPTA are taking payroll operator Novopay to court over a delay in adjusting teachers' wages and backpay after they struck an agreement with the government earlier this month.

But, after its well-publicised issues years ago, why is Novopay still being used by the government? And how difficult ARE the logistics of paying 100,000 people their wages?

Former principal and current school financial management consultant Wayne Facer joins us to discuss.
