Targeted Voluntary Separation Packages
In reply to the Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (28 July 2021). (Estimates Committee B)
The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The following information is provided on behalf of all ministers:
Agencies have advised that a total of 429 TVSPs and executive separations (405.4 FTEs) were accepted during 2020-21, and that the following expenses were incurred (excluding payments associated with accrued leave):
TVSP and executive separation payments $40.0 million
Payroll tax and shared services fees $0.5 million
Expenses associated with 292 acceptances were centrally reimbursed—$25.7 million for TVSP and executive separation payments and $0.3 million for payroll tax and shared services fees.
Agencies met costs associated with the other 137 acceptances—$14.3 million for TVSP and executive separation payments and $0.2 million for payroll tax and shared services fees.
Other than in specific circumstances approved by the government where significant reform activity is underway, agencies are responsible for managing costs associated with TVSPs and separation payments.
The TVSP budget for reform activities is not set at the agency level. A central budget allocation of $30 million has been included in 2021-22 for central reimbursement where agencies are undertaking significant reform activity.'
