I shall away the many thousands of dollars with bated breath

I worked at Waitemata DHB for my last 18 months in Auckland, 13-14 years ago. I was paid a salary. I'm now having to go through a complex rigmarole because apparently they managed to get my holiday pay wrong ON A SALARY. I'm due a refund. It'll probably be about $5
