Public Sector Employees

319 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (25 July 2018). How many targeted voluntary separation packages have been accepted across the public sector since the 19 March 2018?

(a) What is the total estimated cost of targeted voluntary separation packages accepted since the 19 March 2018?

(b) What is the department or agency, position title, and total employment cost of each position in which a TSVP offer was accepted?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

Information on TVSPs is collected by Shared Services SA in the process of providing payroll services to agencies. Table 1 shows the number of employees who accepted the offer of a TVSP and separated during the period 19 March 2018 to 21 August 2018 and the cost of these TVSP payments (approximately $12 million). Note that due to a time lag from offer to separation, acceptances for this period will not correspond directly with offers for the same period.

Shared Services SA have advised that the additional information requested, including position title and total employment cost of each position for these employees, is not readily available.
