Note: He Poutama Rangatahi is a new appropriation that was created to reflect a broadening of the regional scope for expenditure on training and employment programmes. The original funding, as shown in the Employment - Youth Employment Pathways/He Poutama Rangatahi appropriation, was limited to programmes for young people in Te Tai Tokerau, Eastern Bay of Plenty, Tairawhiti and Hawke's Bay. Following further funding being provided through Budget 2019, these particular regional restrictions were removed. Both appropriations are reflected in the Supplementary Estimates 2019/20 because the broader regional scope was actioned part-way through the 2019/20 financial year, by which time spending under the previous regional restrictions had already occurred.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $16.529 million to $16.529 million for 2019/20 due to the expansion of the Employment - He Poutama Rangatahi/Youth Employment Pathways appropriation to account for a change in the scope during the financial year.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $1.534 million to $23.118 million for 2019/20 due to:
- a $1.425 million increase to provide funds relating to the Job Gateway approach to employer-assisted temporary work visas and regional workforce planning;
- a $0.300 million increase attributable to delays in the work to develop an online tool-kit to support employing older workers;
- a $0.300 million increase due to delays with the Migrant Worker Exploitation initiative;
- a $0.158 million increase to reflect the estimated secondee salary costs recovered from the other agencies; and
- a $0.127 million increase to fund a new remuneration framework (Collective Employment Agreement).
This was offset by decreases in the appropriation due to:
- a $0.276 million decrease to reallocate funding for the implementation and on-going costs of a new payroll system (approved through Budget 2019) to better reflect where operational expenses will be incurred; and
- a $0.500 million decrease to address operating cost pressures.
