Novopay Data Dump

Highlights from the Novopay information release under the Official Information Act. #novopay #novodump

  1. See the files on Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x0tfq154ehaszty/snNFODSSEt
    Some of the original documents have since been removed (see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x8so7j4ff3k70rp/MissingNovodump.txt), email any you have to william.leith [at] gmail [dot] com. It seems we're still missing ExecCorrespondence parts 3, 4 (and maybe 5). 

    And so it begins...

  2. Highlights from the dump:

  3. Novopay testing threw up 5913 mispayments, but they still went live with it: minedu.govt.nz/~/media/MinEdu…
  4. Min Ed evaluation of payroll providers put Talent2 top, then EDS. Last: Datacom. Remarkable summary: twitpic.com/bzuk8f #novodump
  5. In this #novodump doc, the redaction is just black rectangles that can be moved to reveal the text: minedu.govt.nz/~/media/MinEdu…
  6. Following warning letter to Talent2, Min Ed gave consideration in April 2012 to "joint exit from the project" bit.ly/UH5kqh #novodump
  7. April 2012 memo shows state of Novopay relnshp; Talent2 blaming MinEd management, threats to go media/litig'n bit.ly/UH5kqh #novodump
  8. Weekly known #novopay defect counts prior to launch: 165, 147, 160, 155, 162, 162, 148, 206, 197, 195, 233, 234. #novodump
  9. This #novodump memo is amazing. Haven't read such a clusterfuck-in-action in a long time. minedu.govt.nz/~/media/MinEdu… (via @toby_etc )
  10. And the data dump goes the same way of Novopay itself:

  11. Keep them PDFs open! The Ministry of Education's #novodump has disappeared. Because of ineptly done redactions? minedu.govt.nz/theMinistry/No…
  12. Related: is it illegal to host redacted OIA docs?
  13. "Why can Talent2 not provide consistent, useful statistics to the Ministry?" dl.dropbox.com/u/438631/Brief… #novodump
  14. I'm collecting rogue #novodump docs in this folder: dropbox.com/sh/wcmep73hlny… Send anything you saved while it was online.
  15. New Zealand's Ministry of Education spells Organisation with a Z. #Novodump
  16. Fault with one of the #Novopay documents meant they had to be reloaded. Should be up again in 10 mins... It's a @stevenljoyce "reboot."
  17. @williamleith Thanks very much for this.We are investigating. Docs will be republished soon. #Novodump
  18. apparently you could reverse the redacting on the documents...which was why they had to be removed #Novopay
  19. And the files are back online. Well, most of them:

  20. Novopay documents now republished online.#Novodump
  21. Comparing the old contents pages and new, it appears these are the documents that were incorrectly released: dropbox.com/s/x8so7j4ff3k7… #novodump
