Paul Munro said he was looking forward to a meeting with EQC in Christchurch today at which what EQC has called "suspect" invoices will be discussed.
The invoices are from the company he works for, Action Demolition, and two other companies.
"It's a witch hunt, but this meeting will be very interesting."
He declined to comment further. An EQC spokesman said yesterday it had been trying to talk about invoices that appeared suspect with the three companies for months, with no luck.
The matter has come to light this week after Dunedin man Calvin Fisher, the sole director of Action Demolition, spoke to media about his concerns employees could not be paid until EQC paid invoices.
Subsequently, several home owners contacted the Close Up programme about Action Demolition. Some claimed the work they contracted the company to do was not done, although workers had visited their properties and removed bricks and chimney flues.
One home owner, Kent Smith, told Close Up he contacted EQC to tell it not to pay Action Demolition, and found the company had filed an invoice for $6000 - the maximum amount contractors can invoice EQC for under emergency repair rules.
Mr Smith said the person he dealt with at Action Demolition was Paul Munro.
Mr Munro's daughter, Amber Munro, started Action Demolition on February 3 this year, the Companies Office website states.
She was its sole director until May 2 when Mr Fisher took over as sole director. In 2008, Miss Munro was employed as office manager at the Amalgamated Workers Union, the union Mr Fisher represents.
In February 2009, she was convicted of 42 dishonesty charges, 34 of which related to taking money from the union's accounts.
Miss Munro, who was also convicted of taking and misusing her mother's eftpos card and stealing from her mother and her mother's partner, was sentenced to community work and ordered to repay $9760.54, the Otago Daily Times reported at the time.
Mr Fisher recently gave evidence in Mr Munro's defence at an arson trial in Dunedin in May.
Mr Munro was found not guilty.
The EQC spokesman said it had not referred anyone to police over fraudulent invoicing yet, but it had taken advice from police on what to look for in regards to fraudulent activity.
It would refer contractors to police if they filed invoices that proved to be fraudulent.
Mr Fisher did not return calls from the Otago Daily Times last night, but told Close Up he was not aware of Action Demolition's background until he stepped in to try and help its employees. He had taken charge of the situation because it was not good, but still challenged EQC to pay invoices not in dispute, he said.
