The
Explanatory Memorandum to the amending 2007 Bill provides extensive guidance about the interpretation of 'employment activity':
A request for information does not extend to questions unrelated to or outside of an employee's existing employment entitlements. A request for information would include questions about the source of the employee's employment entitlements, what the entitlements are and whether the employee has been, is being, or will be given those entitlements. For example:
- what is my rate of pay?
- how many holidays have I accrued?
- do I have an entitlement to paid maternity leave?
- have I been paid for those extra hours I worked?
- will I be able to take my annual leave next month?
