PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES

In reply to Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (7 October 2010) (Estimates Committee A).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development): I have been advised of the following:

Employee benefits for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet were $7.723 million higher in 2009-10 compared with 2008-09 reflecting:

Termination payments in 2009-10 made as part of the 2009-10 TVSP Scheme;

A higher revaluation expense for long service leave liability in 2009 10 reflecting variations in the underlying actuarial parameters used to calculate the provision; and

Higher wage expenses in 2009-10 compared with 2008-09 reflecting the impact of the Wages Parity (Salaried) Enterprise Agreement 2010.
