AUDITOR-GENERAL'S REPORT
In reply to the Hon. S.G. WADE (27 November 2008).
The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy): The Minister for Correctional Services is advised that:
The overtime and callback costs for 2007-08 and 2006-07 are as follows—
2007-08($'000) | 2006-07($'000) | |
Overtime | 2,168 | 1,208 |
Callbacks | 5,421 | 3,506 |
These figures do not take into account associated oncosts (payroll tax approximately 5.6 per cent in 2006-07 and 5.2 per cent in 2007-08 and superannuation approximately 10 per cent on average in 2006-07 and 2007-08).
The increase was a direct result of additional staffing required to safely manage the increase in prisoner numbers, with a targeted recruitment campaign being implemented to employ additional officers.
