100 In October 2015 the Government introduced the Home and Community Support (Payment for Travel between Clients) Settlement Bill. The Bill responds to an issue raised in the Commission’s Caring Counts report and resolves a claim filed in the Employment Relations Authority that the time a home and community support worker spends travelling between clients is work for the purposes of the Minimum Wage Act 1983. 101 The Commission recommends that the Committee urge the Government to: B  set targets to increase the representation of women in corporate governance and senior management in the public sector and to eliminate the gender pay gap in the public and private sector over the next reporting period, and provide an update to the CEDAW Committee when it reviews New Zealand in 2016/17.  take steps – regulatory or otherwise - to require listed companies to establish and disclose gender polices including measurable objectives and implementation in their annual reports in line with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights; and  establish a cross agency programme of work to implement and monitor the implementation of SDG Goal 5 – achieving gender equality and empower all women and girls.
