Dear Privacy Commissioner,
This website https://www.privacy.org.nz/resources-2/p... of yours says that :

"Employers that have a legitimate need to know an employee’s vaccination status "

Would you please share the minutes, emails and any correspondence and policy documents for the decision to publish the above saying that an employer has a legitimate reason to ask health status of a worker

Please include any legal discussions and legal advice, and also refer to the specific sections of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 as the basis for this statement.....especially any discussions around section 168 (4) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

I would like all the memos, correspondence and meeting minutes including legal advice that occurred prior to this advice being published on your website in 2021.

Please share any inter agency correspondence regarding the decision for this eg with Worksafe, MBIE, the MoH, Crown Law etc

In Sep 2021, this statement or similar was nowhere on the same "Covid" webpage (https://web.archive.org/web/202009010549...)

So I assume this "covid" advice came about later in 2021 or early 2022 on the Privacy Commision's webpage.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
