就在其员工们致力于处理Novopay软件引发的混乱局面的当口，教育部决定重组这同一批员工工作的财务部门，这么做实在太不智了。
全国上下还有成千上万教育部门的员工为薪资问题伤脑筋，有些人甚至连一分钱工资都没拿到。教育部居然选择在这个时节给正在解决软件问题的员工造成极大的不确定性，简直令人难以置信。
Novopay制造的混乱还在继续。现在具有无穷智慧的教育部已经决定把管付薪的财务部门员工从23名减到14名。他们不是在开玩笑吧。
这些员工必须全神贯注解决Novopay引起的混乱局面，而不是去担心他们到新年来临时是否还保得住饭碗。
为了补救教师薪资问题，财务部门员工已经是顶着巨大压力在工作。如今他们却被告知给两周时间对是否还能保住工作发表看法。
或许教育部的上层也应当通过Novopay系统来领薪水。那么也许当他们有两个月薪资出问题后就会认真去理清楚这个混乱局面。
说起来，应当是那个决定重组财务部门的某位仁兄的工作可以考虑被削减，而不是那些正力图拨乱反正的员工的饭碗。教育部的头头脑脑们有必要检查一下自己的脑子是不是出了状况。（霍建强议员办公室供稿）
HIPKINS
Associate Education Spokesperson
15 November 2012 MEDIA STATEMENT
Job cut madness won’t fix Novopay
The Ministry of Education’s decision to restructure their Payroll Services Unit at the very time those same staff are focused on fixing the Novopay shambles is mind-bogglingly stupid, Labour’s State Services spokesperson Chris Hipkins says.
“Thousands of education staff up and down the country are still having problems with their pay, while some aren’t getting paid at all. The idea that the Ministry of Education would decide now is a good time to create huge uncertainty for the staff tasked with fixing the problem defies belief.
“Novopay continues to be a debacle. Now in their infinite wisdom the Ministry of Education has decided to reduce personnel in the payroll team from 23 to 14. They can’t be serious.
“These staff need to be focused on fixing the Novopay mess, not wondering if they are still going to have a job in the New Year.
“Payroll staff have been working under immense pressure to fix teachers’ pay problems. Now they’ve been given two weeks to comment on whether or not they should still have jobs.
“Maybe the top managers at the Ministry of Education should get their pay via Novopay. Perhaps if they went a couple of months without getting paid correctly they’d get serious about sorting this mess out.
“It’s the job of whoever authorised this restructuring that should now be on the line, not the jobs of the people working to get things back on track. The senior leadership at the Ministry of Education need their heads examined,” Chris Hipkins says.
