That doesn't sound like a new "bug" to me, that sounds like somebody intentionally trying to mess with teachers in order to demoralize them and get some of them to leave.
The National government has had two years to ensure Novopay works, and you've got to wonder why they haven't fixed it yet? Perhaps undermining teachers would provide the excuse they need to implement charter schools, which will effectively privatise education.
Clearly the extensive problems at Novopay are getting worse and not better under Steven Joyce's so-called management.
Instead of looking at alternatives or putting in place a proper plan to fix Novopay, the responsible minister is twiddling his thumbs and awaiting yet another report into the flawed system, which is an all too familiar excuse we've heard before:
It is incompetence like that which should ensure National lose the next election.

The minister responsible for Novopay, Steven Joyce, is expected to announce the results of a technical review into the system this week.

Novopay problems have so far affected 1600 teachers at 628 schools.
A recent review showed 521 teachers have been overpaid, 589 underpaid and 552 were not paid at all.
