Answer

I am advised no changes have been made to Flexi-wage for this purpose. Flexi-wage is managed consistently with the Ministry of Social Development’s Employment Investment Strategy. Further information of the Employment Investment Strategy is available here: www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/evaluation/investment-approach/index.html.
