Delegates Rights. The Employer accepts that NZNO delegates are the recognised channel of communication between NZNO and the Employer in the workplace. Accordingly, reasonable paid time off (at ordinary time rates) shall be allowed for delegates to attend meetings with management, consult with NZNO members, other workplace delegates and NZNO officials, to consult on and discuss issues such as management of change and staff surplus, and provide employee representation. Where paid time off for such representation and consultation impacts on the delegates substantive role, prior approval for such meetings shall be obtained from management. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The amount of paid time off and facilities provided shall be sufficient to enable delegates to give adequate consideration to the issues in the workplace without impacting on their substantive role. Where recognised workplace activities are required outside working hours, delegates shall be paid at ordinary rates or granted time in lieu on a time for time basis.
