Ports of Auckland workers are being paid a bonus after a strong financial year for the company.
Chief executive Roger Gray said the performance bonus reflected the work done by its people throughout the year in delivering the first year of its Regaining our Mana strategy.
"We're delighted that we can share the great results of the company with our people.
"We know that it's been a tough year with many family budgets coming under pressure, and we're pleased to be able to provide this one-off bonus to our people," Gray said.
Those who are employed in roles that have Collective Employment Agreements (union members) and were employed prior to 1 January 2023, will get $1125.
There will be a tiered approach for people who have worked for less than half the financial year.
Port employees on individual agreements will receive a bonus according to their contract.
Last week Ports of Auckland announced it was paying a $30 million dividend for the year to its owner Auckland Council.
Then, Gray had said the port's success was bolstered by going back to basics of increasing volume and price.
