The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is getting ready to go to market for new, cloud-based payroll software to replace its existing Chris21 on-premises system.
However, there were a few developments and dependencies in the broader government sphere the department clearly needed to consider.
In a notice issued last week, MSD said it intended to go to market for a SaaS system from the third quarter of 2021, either using a tender process or by secondary procurement via the all of government payroll programme.
Australians Taking Advantage of the Loophole in Trans-Tasman Travel Bubble May Face Prison
Australians who choose to travel onwards from New Zealand to other destinations through a loophole in the newly-opened trans-Tasman travel bubble could face prison under new biosecurity legislation.
On Monday, a change to the Biosecurity legislation warns that Australians may face a “civil penalty” if they travel onwards from New Zealand to other countries.
According to the Australian Parliament website, people who break the rules will face five years in prison and/or a $63,000 fine, which explains the legislation.
“A person who intentionally engages in conduct that contravenes a requirement or a direction commits a criminal offence punishable by a maximum penalty of imprisonment for five years and/or a fine of 300 penalty units ($63,000),” it says.
