Resolution of Claim. 7.1 The parties agree that this Agreement is being entered into by the Secretary for the benefit of the individual school Boards of Trustees as the employers of teacher aides. 7.2 The parties agree that this Agreement is being entered into by NZEI Te Riu Roa on behalf of its members who fall within the coverage clause and that NZEI Te Riu Roa has the authority to settle the claim and reach agreement as to the claim on a full and final basis, subject to the variation to the Support Staff in Schools’ Collective Agreement being ratified. 7.3 The parties agree that the process undertaken and the information collated to assess and resolve the Claim was suitable and sufficient for the parties to reach agreement on the Claim. 7.4 The parties agree that this Agreement is in full and final resolution of the Claim. The agreement reached reflects the parties view that it achieves pay equity and that there is no differentiation between male and female employees in the manner set out in section 3(1) of the Act. Nor will any claim be made that any remuneration paid to any teacher aide is subject to any differentiation or undervaluation based on sex. 7.5 No claim will be brought by either NZEI Te Riu Roa or an NZEI Te Riu Roa member covered by this Agreement against either the State Services Commissioner or the Secretary or a Board of Trustees seeking back pay for any period prior to which the Agreement comes into effect. 7.6 Nothing in this Agreement prevents either party from bringing a claim in the future based on a failure to review and maintain pay equity as required by clause 4 of this Agreement; nor from bringing a claim against the other party to this Agreement for a breach of this Agreement.
