Purpose This handbook is for our contractors. Its purpose is to provide information about how things work at SHL, what’s important to us, what’s expected of you and what you can do if things aren’t right. The sustainability of our business and the livelihood of all of us depend on the quality of the relationships we have with you and, through you, with our customers, tenants and suppliers. High standards of business and personal ethics are essential and will ensure the continued good reputation of your business and our business.

It is important to us that our contractors understand and work in accordance with our company values.

Spencer Henshaw Limited

1 About Us

Our people make a difference in the communities in which we operate

and where they live and work.

Spencer Henshaw Limited (SHL) provides a full range of property repair, maintenance and upgrade services to government and commercial clients. We employ around 150 people. They include skilled quality assurance and health and safety advisors, field-based scopers and supervisors, administration, finance, IT and trades teams. Together we deliver work safely, on time, to budget, and to the quality standards our customers expect. Kāinga Ora Homes and Communities, the Government’s provider of social housing across New Zealand, is our biggest client. We have four Performance based Maintenance Contracts (PBMC) with Kāinga Ora. Kāinga Ora assigns maintenance work to us in line with those contracts. You can read more about that in the next section. Many of our Central Auckland and North/West Auckland operations team members, and many of our shared services team members (Trades, Finance, IT, HR) work from our Takapuna office on the North Shore. We have regional offices in Whangarei (Northland) and Papatoetoe (South Auckland), and an office at Mount Roskill. The two legacy companies of Spencer Henshaw – SPM Builders and Henshaw Group – have provided property maintenance services in the wider Auckland region for over forty years. While we’ve grown a lot, the company has some employees who’ve been around since the very beginning and the owners are still active in making decisions about the future of our business. You can find out a lot more about our company by referring to our website www.spencerhenshaw.co.nz

Our Relationship with Kāinga Ora

2 Kāinga Ora

Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities is the government agency responsible for providing rental housing. Kāinga Ora’s portfolio comprises approximately 65,000 properties ranging from bedsits to houses with five or more bedrooms. Due to the nature and significance of that portfolio, Kāinga Ora relies heavily on the private sector for ongoing maintenance and repair of those properties. Kāinga Ora offers PMBC maintenance and repair contracts for tender for each of its regions across the country, to carry out responsive maintenance, planned maintenance and routine maintenance. Kāinga Ora owns the majority of its homes. Some are leased from private owners. The leased homes are referred to as HLP (Housing Lease Private) or LPO (Leased Private Owner). Kāinga Ora’s reputation and brand are as important to us as our own. As a PBMC holder we represent Kāinga Ora in the community. We, and our contractors, take that responsibility seriously by remembering our actions, attitudes and behaviour reflect on our own organisation and on theirs.

Performance-Based Maintenance Contract SHL’s contract with Kāinga Ora is called a Performance-based Maintenance Contract. Under the PBMC Kāinga Ora’s primary objectives are:

Safety – Properties are and remain safe for tenants, PBMC and contractors and their personnel, the public and Kāinga Ora employees at all times.

Value for money and quality – Continuously improving quality and delivery of services, driving efficiency, leveraging Kāinga Ora’s purchasing power, attracting and retaining qualified and skilled contractors, and paying market rates.

Operating environment – Effective planning, gathering and retaining information and capability, making intelligent decisions, maintaining an efficient interface between itself and its contractors.

Satisfaction – Taking care of Kāinga Ora’s tenants’ best interests. As parties to our PBMC, Kāinga Ora and SHL agree to deal with each other reasonably, fairly and in good faith, and employ a ‘no surprises’ philosophy by communicating promptly and reconciling matters that may affect performance of services.

Kāinga Ora Regions SHL is the largest of Kāinga Ora’s PBMC holders (known as ‘head contractors’). We maintain approximately one-third of Kāinga Ora’s stock – that’s about 23,000 families’ homes – in four regions.

Document Number TM OB 01 V2 Version Date October 2019

Kāinga Ora Homes and Community tenants are our customers.

All interaction with tenants should be appropriate to the situation. If you fail to interact appropriately with tenants it could result in an investigation and possibly termination of your contract with SHL. If one of your employees interacts disrespectfully or inappropriately they may no longer be allowed to work on Kāinga Ora sites. These are the rules These rules apply when you deal with any person who lives at a Kāinga Ora property where you are working, as well as their neighbours, and their friends, family or visitors who are also at the property. The following are appropriate:

Discussing the job to be done.

Discussing other work the tenant wishes to have done that is within your capability while you are on site. (This can be helpful to the tenant as it avoids arranging multiples.)

Discussing a pet that should be restrained.

Behaving in a friendly way while keeping in mind items on the list below.

The following are NOT appropriate:

Discussing the tenants’ relationship status. Don’t ask if the tenant is married or has a partner.

Don’t discuss your personal life or domestic situation.

Making comments or compliments to the tenant on their personal appearance, how they are dressed, or how tidy (or not) their home is.

Inviting tenants to have a social drink of alcohol, partake of illicit drugs, attend parties, night clubs, or any other social events, and accepting any such invitation from a tenant.

If you ever feel that a tenant is being particularly difficult or you think they are harassing you, make an excuse to leave the property and make a point of reporting the situation to SHL’s job Supervisor or Health and Safety team. Personal relationships with tenants are not allowed under any circumstances. If you do not follow these rules you can put yourself at risk. That can result in no longer being able to work for Spencer Henshaw on Kāinga Ora properties.

4 Criminal Conviction History Checking

Kāinga Ora must protect its tenants. While Kāinga Ora supports the rehabilitation of

individuals with criminal convictions into the workforce, it requires us to obtain criminal

conviction history (CCH) reports from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) for our staff and our

contractors and their staff, each year.

Prospective contractors must advise SHL if they have had any criminal convictions. New employees of contractors must advise SHL at induction time if they have had any criminal convictions. Contractors and employees of contractors must advise SHL if they receive a conviction by contacting their Regional Manager, our Trades Relationship Manager or our Trades Manager.

If your CCH is of concern we will talk to you about it and you may ask us to seek a dispensation to allow you to work on Kāinga Ora properties. If that is the case details of the CCH report may need to be disclosed to Kāinga Ora. If the CCH report of one of your workers is of concern we will talk to you about it in the first instance. You may ask us to seek a dispensation to allow your worker to work on Kāinga Ora properties. Again, details of the CCH report may need to be disclosed to Kāinga Ora. If Kāinga Ora does not grant the dispensation the person will not be allowed to continue to work on Kāinga Ora properties and their ID card must be returned to SHL.

5 Procurement Items

Kāinga Ora negotiates purchase prices and arrangements for every piece of hardware and

all materials that are installed or utilised on their properties, with specific suppliers.

To ensure that our contractors purchase and use the products Kāinga Ora specifies, and are able to purchase them at the rates negotiated by Kāinga Ora, our contractors are required to open trade accounts with specific applicable suppliers.

Working Together

6 Basics

Onboarding When a new contractor has made the decision to join us this handbook is a key part of the familiarisation process. We have forms and documentation to complete together to formalise things and our Trades Relationship Manager explains all of that and the other requirements. Next we will commence our three month onboarding process to ensure our new contractor understands Kāinga Ora’s requirements and the importance of health and safety, to give them training on the systems we use to manage Kāinga Ora jobs, and to explain the job process. Other important elements of onboarding are health and safety induction, site visits and inspections by our health and safety team, and work quality checks by our quality assurance team. You can see the Contractor Onboarding Summary in Appendix 1. This contract between your business and ours, which helps us know what to expect of each other, is a Service Level Agreement (SLA). Other important aspects of onboarding are:

The Kāinga Ora Pledge

Accounting information

Setting up supplier accounts so that you have access to the right procurement items and materials, and you obtain them at the right places and prices.

Booking you and your team to attend our trades training sessions and ensuring you know how to access trades training manuals.

Showing you how to use our internet portal and tradesman mobile app to manage your jobs.

Establishing our working relationship requires that you provide the following:

Company Health and Safety Plan.

Company Quality Plan.

Company's current public liability insurance policy.

Trade registrations, certificates and qualifications.

Details of employees who will work at SHL sites.

Register of all hazardous substances used in your work.

Your Employees

Attend a health and safety induction presentation;

Provide a copy of trade registrations, certificates and qualifications.

Complete Ministry of Justice forms.

Supply photo identification.

Have your photographs taken for the SHL/Kāinga Ora ID card. When you hire new team members who will work on SHL sites the same requirements will apply.

Personal Hygiene You and your team members must adhere to conventional personal hygiene, cleanliness and grooming standards.

7 Behaviour and Conduct

Ethics and Behaviour

The sustainability of our business and the livelihoods of us all depend on the quality of our relationships with customers (including tenants), other trades people, and suppliers – and most of all, with each other.

High standards of business and personal ethics are essential and will ensure the continued good reputation of the company.

other, and we help each other out.

We treat others with fairness,

courtesy, respect and dignity.

We value our cultural differences.

We do NOT pretend we don’t see

people doing the wrong things.

We deal with disputes in a

supportive, respectful and discrete

fashion.

We follow correct work procedures

and do our jobs to the best of our

abilities.

We all work with integrity and honesty and no compromise is acceptable. If we receive a complaint about your conduct or the conduct of one of your team members, we will investigate it and involve you in the process.

Bullying and Harassment Bullying and harassment constitute serious misconduct. Allegations of bullying or harassment will be investigated and may be dealt with via misconduct processes.

Harassment or Bullying by a Customer If you or one of your team members is harassed, sexually or racially harassed, or bullied by a customer, SHL employee or other external contact, please complete an Incident Report and give it to one of SHL’s supervisors or managers as set out in the next section. (The matter can be communicated orally in the first instance.) SHL will investigate the complaint.

If satisfied the complaint is legitimate, SHL will take practicable steps to prevent harassment recurring.

Practicable steps could include:

Communicating with the customer or SHL employee, setting clear expectations, and explaining the consequences if the behaviour is repeated.

If the harassment or bullying continues the appropriate processes will be followed.

If you observe an incident

Remove yourself from the situation if you feel in danger. Contact the SHL job Supervisor or the Regional Manager

immediately. Complete an Incident Report about what happened and give that

to the SHL job Supervisor, Team Manager or Regional Manager. (Exactly what happened, including date and time, and registrations of any vehicles present.)

If you are informed of an incident by someone else

If they need help, give them any help you can. Ask them to follow the steps set out above. Ask for their name and phone number, and for as much

information as possible. Contact your SHL job Supervisor or Regional Manager

immediately to report what you have been told. Please also complete an Incident Report about what you were

told and what you thought or felt about the situation, and give that to the SHL job Supervisor, Team Manager or Regional Manager. The more information we have the easier the investigation will be.

Complaints Where an allegation of misconduct is made by or against one of our contractors it is our duty to investigate it. We will investigate allegations of: Actions or threats of abuse, harassment, bullying, violence, or any other situation

where an individual is harmed Breaches of the Kāinga Ora Pledge or the SHL Service Level Agreement Fraudulent behaviour If you become aware of inappropriate behaviour or misconduct by one of our employees or another contractor or their employee, please complete an Accident or Incident Form. When you need to report an accident or incident you can download the form from our internet portal. Or you can call a member of our health and safety team or administration team, and they will email it to you.

8 Conflicts of Interest

To protect you and your company from unfair treatment or influence, we require SHL employees to let us know if they ask you to carry out work for them personally, or if they make an arrangement with you to carry out work for their friends or family. Our employees know that we expect them to pay you properly – at your normal commercial rates – for the work. So if any SHL employee asks you to carry out trades work for them independently, or asks you to carry out trades work for their friends or for people in their family, we expect you to charge them your normal commercial rates, without discount, for that work. If you feel you are being requested to do work cheaply or at discounted rates, or ‘mates rates’, by SHL staff members, please talk to your Regional Manager, our Trades Relationship Manager, Trades Manager, or Operations Director. Contact information is shown in Appendix 2.

9 Environment

The way we work will not compromise, contaminate or damage the environment.

The Health and Safety Induction Manual contains relevant sections:

Environmental Plans and Procedures

Environmental Risk Identification and Controls

Recycling and Waste Disposal

Spill Response Procedures

Refer to your Service Level Agreement for Health, Safety and Environmental Obligations

10 Information and Communications Technology

Computer Systems Information and communication technology (ICT) systems help us get our work done. Te Mana is our internal core computer application for job management. Kāinga Ora’s job management system, Kotahi, and Te Mana communicate electronically. Jobs will be issued to your company from Te Mana to our contractors’ internet portal. That’s where you access your job information. You can manage your jobs, and sign off your completed jobs, all via the portal or the mobile device app. You will access your job information and manage

your jobs via our internet portal and mobile app.

You will see all the job information – address, nature of the work to be done, the codes, locations, measurements and timeframes.

During the course of your work you can add codes for work done, request variations, and close off jobs for invoicing and payment.

You can view all new and outstanding jobs, update the status of jobs to note ‘no access’, ‘awaiting parts’, ‘appointment made’ etc.

When the job is complete its status will update to ‘ready for payment’. Once completed and signed off by the Supervisor the job will be processed through Te Mana to Kāinga Ora, and back to our accounting system for payment to you.

Do not make any statement to the media, or answer any questions asked by any media contact in relation to the work you do for SHL or Kāinga Ora. Only people who have been explicitly authorised by Kāinga Ora Homes and Communities may make statements or give interviews to any news media regarding Kāinga Ora properties, tenants or work carried out.

12 Privacy

SHL will not disclose your personal information to any third party except as is required to carry out the company’s business or to abide by New Zealand laws.

The Work

13 Health and Safety

Our goal is safety and sustainability within our own teams and our contractor workforce.

Our Health and Safety team works to achieve the company’s compliance with health, safety and environmental legislation, industry standards and codes of conduct. They actively support a culture of excellence and promote zero tolerance to workplace accidents. And they investigate reports of health and safety breaches.

Health and Safety Induction Manual You and your team members will be issued a SHL Health and Safety Induction Manual at induction time. Please make sure everyone in your team reads this and keeps it handy at every work site at all times. There’s a version of our Health and Safety Induction Manual for the Auckland Regions and one for the Northland Region.

Remember – and remind your team to work safely. If you need any help from us in making this happen please contact our health and safety team.

Document Name Contractor Handbook

Spencer Henshaw Limited Page 19

Document Number TM OB 01 V2 Version Date October 2019

Compliance

Health and Safety expectations in your SLA are that you and your team will:

• Keep your work site safe • Have a first aid kit, fire extinguisher and spill kit on site • Ensure your power leads and tools are tagged • Sign the VSC job register where applicable • Use the required personal protective equipment (PPE ) • Report accidents and other safety or environmental incidents to SHL • Have ID cards on site • Use drop sheets where required

Compliance is monitored by our Health and Safety and operations teams. After the first month, repeated non-compliances will result in financial penalties. Please see Appendix 3 for more information.

Safety Signs

SHL will provide safety signs to keep tenants and other trades people safe by alerting them to risks and hazards.

You and your staff will be required to use the signs during all interior or exterior work at tenanted properties:

- Maintenance or refurbishment - Yard maintenance - Demolition - High risk work

Document Number TM OB 01 V2 Version Date October 2019

CAT (Category) Warnings

Our job management system provides warnings if there has been a problem at a

particular property in the past. Category, or CAT warnings, inform you and our

Supervisors that they should not attend that property alone.

Check the Warning in the Job Portal If you note a Category warning and are unsure contact our Health Safety Department for confirmation to attend property.

Depending on the risk your instructions may be:

All work on hold

SHL staff or Kāinga Ora Tenancy Manager (TM) must escort the contractor

Two contractors must attend

Phone the tenant before attending

The tenant will vacate the property for the duration of the work

Situational Awareness

Personal Safety CAT warnings are really helpful – but they will not take care of unpredictable risks. So always be aware of what is going on around you and leave the property if you are at risk.

Arriving at the property: Observe the property and surroundings. Park in a way that will allow you to quickly leave the property if you need to –

without reversing. Before leaving your vehicle check for hazards:

Check for dogs

Check for signs of substance abuse, parties, needles, alcohol, drugs, weapons.

Lock your vehicle. Take note of any risks and stay only if it is safe.

Working in vacant properties: Look around the outside of the house first before going in. When inspecting multi-storied houses inspect the upper floors first to ensure there

are not unauthorised people present. Make a mental note of exit points

Working in tenanted properties:

Document Number TM OB 01 V2 Version Date October 2019

Make a mental note of exit points. Be mindful of where people are around you – tenants, their children, and visitors. Remember the tenant might be having a bad day – so it might be best to defer the

visit for another time.

At all times: If in doubt, get out Complete an incident form if you felt you were at risk of harm

You can download the form from the internet portal

Document Number TM OB 01 V2 Version Date October 2019

Alcohol & Drugs

Under no circumstances must you or your team members come to work under the

influence of alcohol or drugs.

Illegal Drugs or Substances No illegal drugs or substances may be brought

into any SHL workplace. It is strictly prohibited to manufacture, distribute,

possess, sell or use any controlled substance on a work site.

Anyone providing illicit drugs or substances to tenants, SHL employees or other contractors will be removed from the PBMC.

In our work context “under the influence” and “impaired” mean

having alcohol or drugs in your system that are

above legal limits, including driving limits.

14 Job Process

Kāinga Ora’s job management system and SHL’s job management system, communicate

with each other. All of Kāinga Ora’s jobs are issued electronically to us and our system

allows us to quote the job (scope) and have the work approved by Kāinga Ora, before

issuing the job to you through our internet portal. Our system is called Te Mana.

Except in the case of Responsive jobs, our teams visit each property and scope the work. The scope (quote) work flows electronically to Kāinga Ora and when it is approved our Programmers dispatch the job to your company via our internet portal.

You, your tradesmen and administration staff can manage the jobs; that means they can add codes for work done, make variations, and close off jobs for invoicing and payment – through the portal or via the mobile app.

You or your portal administrator can view all new and outstanding jobs, update the status of jobs to note ‘no access’, ‘waiting parts’, ‘appointment made’ etc. When a job has been completed its status will be updated to ‘ready for payment’.

Our BCTI process that creates invoices via the portal means no manual invoicing.

Economical Repair versus Replacement

Kāinga Ora relies on us to carry out the work on their properties in good faith. Repair

is always the first option and is preferred because it is usually more cost effective.

Please note that if a repair, in your opinion, is uneconomical and the better option is to replace, then please advise us of this. If the replacement cost is less than $500 then please proceed with the replacement and note your reasons for doing so on the job notes. If you think replacement is best but it will cost more than $500, please seek approval before proceeding.

Kāinga Ora gives each category of job a ‘priority’ that describes it

The jobs usually need one trade only, and total less than $500 (see Responsive Job Dollar Approval Limits on the next page).

The GNL work priority has a completion timeframe of 10 days, and 2 days to close and invoice the job.

Work orders must be completed with 10 working days unless you have received an approved exemption with a new expected completion date (ECD).

You are responsible for being familiar with the work dispatched to you, and you are responsible for closing and completing your work orders for invoicing.

The administration team will stay in touch with you about work orders that have not been acknowledged or updated.

Responsive Job Dollar Approval Limits

Exemptions

You are responsible for your KPI timeframes.

If you cannot complete a GNL Responsive job within the GNL KPI timeframe, we need to

obtain an exemption from Kāinga Ora. (This is called a KC exemption.)

Failure to get an exemption will mean a failed KPI, by which we are all measured.

If you advise our Administration Coordinator they will request a Completion Exemption from Kāinga Ora without incurring a penalty.

You might prefer to apply for the exemption directly through the portal:

In the portal, go to the Exemption tab. Click Request Exemption Select the Exemption Reason from the

drop-down box.

Completion Exemption Reasons:

Access Supply of parts Weather Consent/Approval Other

Explanation or comments: Kāinga Ora requires information to validate the

exemption request. Include a new expected completion date (ECD).

RSC Responsive Scope Requirements

RSC jobs are scoped by SHL, and our Programmers programme them with the tenants. When the work is programmed it will appear in your portal and you can see all the job requirements and KPI timeframes. This work is managed by SHL Supervisors who will liaise with your staff to complete the job.

VSC Vacant Scope Requirements

VSC jobs are scoped by SHL and the Kāinga Ora Void Specialist. The work is programmed it will appear in your portal and you can see all the job requirements and KPI timeframes. This work is managed by SHL Supervisors who will liaise with your staff to complete the job.

Planned Maintenance Requirements

Some planned programmes have their own dedicated teams – like the Exterior Paint programme. Others have one or two dedicated Scoper/Supervisors – like Warm & Dry, Driveway Safety Programme (fencing) and Gas Conversion. Others, like the Rheumatic Fever Prevention Programme (RFPP), fall under the responsibility of our RSC teams.

In all cases, the work is scoped, programmed and supervised by SHL employees before you do the work. Following are explanations of these parts of the job process:

RM Routine Maintenance Unlike RSC, VSC and PM, Routine Maintenance – RM – is arranged on a routine basis. RM applies to jobs that are done regularly – a set number of times per year – like lawn mowing, yard work, and cleaning of building exteriors. We monitor work completion, safety and quality.

Administration Our office-based administration teams are an important part of the job process. Each region has a dedicated administration team to organise and support RSC, VSC, PM and RM operations teams and help with invoicing, coding and monitoring customer service requests. Administration Coordinators manage the flow of administrative work from despatch to invoicing and support the achievement of contracted KPIs.

15 Location Codes

Please make sure you understand and explain this to your team:

Location coding is crucial – it affects audit scores and our reputation. The locations of the parts of each Kāinga Ora property are described using a set of codes.

Exterior Location Codes

Codes tell you where on the outside of the property or inside the building, your job is. The codes apply to single dwellings and to larger community group houses.

RF 1 RF 2 RF 3 RF 4

Road Frontage Fencing codes describe the location of the fences The fence facing the street is RF 1 The fence to your right on the right-hand boundary is RF 2 etc

Fencing Programmes Fencing locations for the fencing programmes are described starting from the road frontage and moving anticlockwise as shown below.

RF codes apply only to fencing programmes :

BFP Boundary Fencing Programme DSP Driveway Safety Programme

Interior Location Codes Each job item will be listed with its location inside the house. Again, these are relative to the location of the front door. When entering a house the first bedroom on the right hand side from the front door is B 1 (Bedroom 1). Moving anti-clockwise bedrooms are B 2, B 3 and so on. If the house has more than one level start on the ground floor and work upwards The codes are set out and explained below:

16 Measurements

Method of Measurement must be adhered to

You and your people, just like ours, must

use Kāinga Ora’s methods of measurement

accurately, so that work is correctly invoiced and

paid.

Kāinga Ora Method of Measurements This is specific information about measurements, location details and schedule of rates. 2 Key Points:

Lineal Metres m Minimum measurement for a lineal metre is 0.5m Measurements go up in increments of 0.1m

Measurements are automatically rounded up or down to the nearest 0.1 of a lineal metre

Square Metres m2 Minimum measurement for square meters is 0.5m2 Measurements go up in increments of 0.25m2

Measurements over 0.5m2 are automatically rounded up to the nearest 0.25m2

17 Photographs of Jobs

Photos of jobs help Kāinga Ora see what is required to approve work. Please take photos and attach them to the job on your portal on your first visit to the job – and save making a special trip later.

SHL requires before and after photographs of work to be loaded to your portal for each job for our Responsive department (i.e. GNL, URG, URS).

Photos should be clear and show only the job requested on the job card.

Before After

19 Futile Calls

Usually, if a tenant has agreed to a time and date for a maintenance job to be done, they are at home and happy for you to do the work. Sometimes though, the tenant is not at home or you cannot do the job for another reason – perhaps the tenant will not allow you into the property, or there is a dog loose.

URG

Kāinga Ora arranges a time and advises tenants to be at home so that their URG job can be carried out. If they are not at home when you arrive at the property:

you must leave one of our calling cards; and a futile call charge can be made; and you must make another visit within the timeframe of the job.

If the tenant is not at home when you make the second visit, you must leave one of our calling cards; and advise the SHL administration team who request a FOW job from Kāinga Ora.

Document Name Contractor Handbook

Spencer Henshaw Limited Page 34

Document Number TM OB 01 V2 Version Date October 2019

A futile call charge may apply on a first visit if a dog is loose on the property and you are unable to get the tenant to isolate or remove the dog.

20 Terms We Use

Like all businesses and industries, we use a lot of terms and language that are specific to

us. If you don’t know what someone is talking about when they use these, please ask.

At the end of this handbook you will find a quick reference guide. Appendix 4.

21 Work Quality

Work quality is paramount. Kāinga Ora will not pay for sub-standard work. If you have to rework a job it can cost your company significant amounts. Kāinga Ora expectations may well be different to what tradesmen are used to or what they themselves would apply. You will need to be aware of Kāinga Ora work expectations and train your employees in all aspects of their work and ensure they understand Kāinga Ora’s expectations as well.

Accuracy SHL is commercially and ethically obliged to charge only for work that has actually been carried out. It is not acceptable to overcharge, by intent or error. Likewise, we are only paid for work that is completed and invoiced. Ensure all invoices are completed correctly. Managers should be aware of work that is being invoiced and regularly check with admin staff and contractors that they are correctly and completely recording all codes.

Systems and Processes

22 Payments for PBMC Kāinga Ora Work

Schedule of Rates Work is priced according to Kāinga Ora’s Schedule of Rates (SOR). Kāinga Ora uses quantity surveyors to determine rates based on time/labour to carry out work, procurement items and materials required and disposal of waste. If you believe a rate is not correct please let us know and we will investigate.

Payment Dates for PBMC Kāinga Ora Work Spencer Henshaw Ltd has set payment dates on the 12th and 25th of each month.

If these dates fall on a Saturday, payment will be made the day before (Friday). If these dates fall on Sunday, payment will be made the following day (Monday).

No other payments will be made outside of the twice-monthly scheduled payment runs.

23 End of Calendar Year

Closedown Period SHL usually has a close-down period at the end of the calendar year, between Christmas and New Year. Our regular after-hours service providers will be working during the closedown period, and will take care of urgent jobs that come up. You will be able to access the portal during the closedown period to do invoicing and to update jobs. The information you input over the holidays will flow through to Kāinga Ora after the break.

Maintenance on Kāinga Ora Properties during Close-Down Period

Kāinga Ora advises us if they require some teams to continue working through the holiday period.

Vacant Properties Kāinga Ora usually asks that we continue to work on vacant properties over the holiday period. This means that if you are part of our Void delivery team you could be requested to work between the Christmas and New Year holidays (27 to 31 December).

If you have any queries about this or you have any doubts about your availability over this time, please contact your Regional Manager. A list of contact numbers is shown in Appendix 2. Exterior Paint Programme Kāinga Ora usually asks that we continue exterior painting work over the holiday period. If work has been allocated to you, and provided you have tenants’ permission, you may continue exterior paint work between the Christmas and New Year holidays. Please refer to the list of contact numbers in Appendix 2.

Christmas Gifts to SHL Employees

While we understand that Christmas is the season of giving we would prefer that any gifts you intended to give to SHL and our employees were instead shared with your employees and families, or given to the Auckland City Mission. Our staff are not allowed to personally accept any gifts. Any gifts received by our staff will be donated to the Auckland City Mission.

24 Apprenticeships

Hudson Sellars Apprentice Scholarship

Spencer Henshaw created the Hudson Sellars Apprentice

Scholarship in memory of Hudson Sellars, our well-loved

Quality Assurance Manager who passed away in 2017.

Hudson was always an advocate for our contractors, and

he met most of them in the course of his daily work. One

of his constant desires, and something that’s a challenge

for all of us competing for the services of skilled trades

people, was to encourage subbies to grow their

businesses, share their knowledge, and provide more jobs.

To honour Hudson, Spencer Henshaw introduced the

‘Hudson Sellars Apprentice Scholarship’ to benefit

apprentice employees of solid and professional employers

who will be great mentors to their apprentices.

Hudson Sellars

The scholarship meets the cost of the start-up kit of tools, and reimburses the cost of course fees throughout the apprenticeship provided the apprentice succeeds in their studies.

25 Resources

Many resources are available to you to help you and your business succeed. Some of those are described in this Handbook and we have set some more in Appendix 5.

26 Training

Building Capability Most of what we learn about our work happens during our day-to-day work:

Standard operating processes and procedures Quality of communications and relationships Kāinga Ora quality standards and contract terms Accurate coding and adherence to specifications Reporting and record keeping Efficiency and time management Best practices, tricks and tips Health, safety and compliance

Responsibilities

Attend the training with your team provided by SHL QA employees Make the most of the SHL training resources, methods and events available. Talk about training at team meetings. Keep training alive by ensuring it’s discussed and implemented. Give feedback about training so that it can be improved if necessary – and so we

know if we’re doing the right things and doing them well. Keep Training and Reference Manuals current. Review CARs received to identify underlying training issues and run toolbox

meetings to rectify.

SHL Training Plan This year’s SHL Contractors’ Training Plan is shown in Appendix 6. It shows the training SHL provides to contractors. It is absolutely essential that you and your team members attend the required training sessions. It is important because it means your company can deliver work to the required standard and not waste time and money going back to rework jobs. It’s important for us too because when our people book training sessions we want everyone who said they would attend, to be there. If your people attend the training our people don’t waste their time.

Trade Training

SHL’s Quality Assurance team provides trade training in the trade you are subcontracted for. This training is compulsory at onboarding stage, and all new employees will be required to attend a training session.

Any time thereafter you wish your new employees to attend a training session you can request this via the Trades team, your regional manager or at [email protected].

We know that taking time out for training costs you money. So when your team members attend our trades training sessions we will pay your company $40 per hour for each person who attends.

Our Trades Training Library is made up of manuals for all Trades Training modules. The manuals contain relevant sections from the building codes and the Kāinga Ora Amenities Condition Manual, Methods of Measurement, Procurement Guides and Master Specifications. You can access them on the Contractor Portal or pick up paper copies from your local SHL office.
