Membership Fee
Principles
All members should pay a membership fee but this should be low and not be a deterrent to membership.
Fees should be set on the basis of employer, association, corporate and other individual members paying a flat fee. Students, trainees and employees should pay a low percentage of that full fee (from 10-30%).
Feedback from workshops
- Concern that fee should be reasonable and not a barrier to joining (agreed)
- Noted that this removes the need for NZARH to make a ‘contribution’ to HITO, but they may wish to still do so
- Completely separate from Service Fees for apprentices – membership status is independent from having trainees or not
- Those employers with trainees may have their membership fee waived
