Another senior Education Ministry manager has resigned over their role in the Novopay school payroll system.
The ministry announced the resignation on Friday, and though it is not identifying the manager, it says the person is a senior staff member who was involved in the Novopay project.
The person was one of two facing an employment investigation for their actions during the development and introduction of Novopay.
On Tuesday, the ministry announced the resignation of one of its deputy secretaries, Anne Jackson, following the ministerial inquiry into the problem plagued payroll system.
The inquiry criticised poor decision-making by ministry staff and said the ministry had misrepresented the Novopay project to government ministers.
Acting Secretary for Education Peter Hughes says employment matters related to the Novopay Ministerial Inquiry have been resolved and the focus is firmly on moving forward.
