Dr Jan White has her work cut out if she thinks she can change the culture and mentality of ACC and its staff.
You cant make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.
I'm sure most readers will have heard that expression before. Strangely I could find no reference to its origin.
The closest I could find was "Pigs Ear" in the Urban Dictionary
"To make a right mess of things, to bollocks up a task, either at work, or driving the car, making a faux pas. "
The term will suffice.
ACC 1982 Act

(2) For the purposes of this Act, the expression "earnings as an employee'' includes---See also. Income Tax Amendment Act (No. 5) 1988 225
(a) Any wages, salary, allowances (including allowances of any of the kinds referred to in section 72 of the Income Tax Act 1976), holiday pay, overtime pay, long-service leave pay, bonuses, gratuities, extra salary, commissions, directors' fees, honoraria, emoluments, or remuneration of any kind paid or payable (whether in cash or otherwise) to any person in respect of or in relation to the employment of that person as an employee

ACC's Chris Rollo, Justin Raffan & Peter Flynn Technical Claims Manager Wanganui are all in agreement that a "Staff Loan" is not a "staff loan" and have redefined the staff loan as an "interest savings amount" or a "borrowing agreement" with my employer.

...ACC's Chris Rollo, Justin Raffan & Peter Flynn Technical Claims Manager Wanganui are all in agreement that a "Staff Loan" is not a "staff loan" and have redefined the staff loan as an "interest savings amount" or a "borrowing agreement" with my employer. CC's Chris Rollo, Justin Raffan & Peter Flynn Technical Claims Manager Wanganui are also all in agreement that ACC are paying my non taxable allowances as part of my ERC! But have been magnanimous and allowed that will use their discretion and not review my ERC. Vieled threat? Of reducing my ERC? ACC's discretion in the field of ERC is that are basically unable to reclaim overpaid ERC if the mistake was ACC's and received by the claimant in good faith. If as ACC's technical experts claim I am not entitled to 80% of the benefits of a staff loan.. (1982 Legislation) then I am being overpaid.. I doubt very much that ACC's discretion allows them to continue overpaying me for the next 15 years! roughly 200K! In a pigs ear.. There is no discretion! in allowing an overpayment to continue for another 15 years is there? The only discretion being exercised is the fact that they will not and do not want to make any decision that will enable me to appeal. |
