SURPLUS EMPLOYEES

243 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (13 July 2011) (First Session). With respect to 2011-12 Budget Paper 4—Volume 3, p130, Program 2—

1. What is meant by 'higher level of excess employees' arising from the government's TVSPs?

2. How many staff are dedicated to managing the excess employees database?

3. How many staff are employed in the Office of Ethical Standards and Professional Integrity?

4. How many employees are currently classified as excess according to each agency and in each case, how long have they been excess?

5. When will up to date workforce information be released on the Office of Ethical Standards and Professional Integrity website?

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

1. The excess employee database has been established to monitor information such as the number of excess employees and their skills, experience and characteristics. The database also monitors the outcome relating to a particular employee (for example when they are placed in ongoing or long term employment or take a TVSP). A higher number of excess employees were expected as a result of the budget savings measures.

2. One staff member is primarily responsible for management of the data base with support being provided (at times) from several other staff members.

3. The Office of Ethical Standards and Professional Integrity comprised 16 staff members in July 2011 including the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment.
