The Mailroom and Vote Processing Centre is in a central Auckland location in Grade-A office space benefitting from a new, custom fit-out for this project. There is no onsite casual parking available and we are unable to reimburse for travel expenses, but it is well served by public transport.

You can bring snacks and water bottles but you will be required to hand in your phone, or other internet-connected devices, to the Staff Manager whenever you enter the Vote Processing Centre. Personal belongings like these will be securely stored and available for collection whenever you leave the processing centre on breaks or at the end of the day’s shift.

The bonus is payable to anyone who achieves 100% attendance of the 20 vote processing days. The bonus is an extra 10% of your basic pay for the whole project, and will be paid in the 21^st October pay run.

Everyone that works on both of the weekend days will receive an extra $200 weekend bonus. This will be paid along with the regular payroll and will attract the standard Witholding Tax.

If you have agreed to attend a shift and are subsequently unable to attend, we request that you notify the Staff Manager with as much notice as possible so that a replacement can be found for your team.  You will not receive pay for that shift and it could also affect your attendance bonus.

Yes, there will be breaks at set times throughout each day, including a longer lunch break.  You can bring your own packed lunch or go out to buy lunch, and there will be a dedicated kitchen area on the floor of the vote processing centre. There will be a separate break room area where you will be able to use your phone, make use of a fridge and access tea and coffee making facilities.  You can expect the following amount of breaks depending on how long your shift is on that day:

2.00 to 4.00 hours worked

• 1 x 10 minute rest break

4.01 to 6.00 hours worked

• 1 x 10 minute rest break
• 1 x 30 minute meal break

6.01 to 10.00 hours worked

• 1 x 10 minute rest break
• 1 x 30 minute meal break
• 1 x 10 minute rest break

There will be two main payrolls processed. For days worked in September payroll will be processed on Tuesday 7^th October and for days worked in October payroll will be processed on Tuesday 21^st October.

Training will be given on day one 24^th September which you will also receive pay for. Team Leaders will receive extra training on the day prior, which you will also receive pay for, if doing this role. If you are coming in after the first day you will receive training from your Team Leader before starting.

You will be paid by JOYN Ltd who will deduct 10% Witholding Tax from your pay, with further taxes being deducted via your personal tax agent of choice, or via your annual return.  You do not need to be GST registered as an independent contractor unless your annual contractor earnings are likely to exceed $60,000.

You will be performing tasks on behalf of Independent Election Services Ltd but your employment contract will be with JOYN Ltd who are managing the recruitment and staffing for this project.  Your employment status will be as an independent contractor.  JOYN can help to set you up as a Contractor if you are not already set up to work in this way.

Due to the nature of this project, we will not be able to offer Vote Processing work to anyone who is related to any of the candidates standing for office or anyone who is a member of any political party.

If you need to leave in cases of emergency, before all of the tasks have been completed for the day, you are permitted, but your daily pay for that day will be reduced by a percentage according to how much of the shift length you miss that day. The same applies if you are late or unable to make a shift until after 8.00am.

$300/day plus an extra bonus for the weekend of 11^th and 12^th October.  This is a day rate and is a fixed amount regardless of the number of hours worked between 8.00am to 6.00pm, as long as you are working until all tasks have been completed for the day. If you are required to work beyond 6pm then an hourly Evening Pay rate will apply.

Vote Processor staff are eligible for an Evening Pay rate of $40/hr for approved time worked past 6pm which will get paid along with the regular payroll.

The vote processing centre will require 80 vote processor staff consisting of 6 teams of 12 processing officers, plus a team of 4 ‘techno’ workers to operate the scanning machines and 4 ‘logistics’ workers to be runners and storemen. It is expected that all workers will help out where required to get the day’s work completed. There will also be a large team of back-up reserves to cover for workers unable to make their rostered shifts or for spikes in demand.

If you need to leave in cases of emergency, before all of the tasks have been completed for the day, you are permitted, but your hourly pay will stop when you leave. The same applies if you are late or unable to make a shift until after 6.00am.

$27/hour plus an extra bonus for the weekend of 11^th and 12^th October.  This is an hourly rate and is paid according to the number of hours submitted and approved by the Staff Manager.

You will receive login instructions to the JOYN timesheet system and enter your shift start and end times before submitting for approval. 10-minute rest breaks are paid but 30-minute meal breaks are unpaid so your timesheet entries will need to reflect this.

The mailroom will require 10 staff every day of the project including the weekend of 11^th to 12^th October. There will be a member of staff from Independent Election Services there to open up the mailroom and get the shift started at 6.00am every day. There will also be a small team of back-up reserves to cover for workers unable to make their rostered shifts or for spikes in demand.
