Ministerial Staff

70 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (13 May 2020). What is the total employment cost for each ministerial adviser funded for each minister as at 12 May 2020?

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

The salary and total annual employment cost for each ministerial staff member employed under Section 71 of the Public Sector Act 2009 as at 5 July 2019 was provided in the Government Gazette, dated 18 July 2019. The gazette also outlined the additional entitlements of section 71 ministerial staff.

Section 71 ministerial staff received an annual remuneration adjustment of 2 per cent per annum operative from the first full pay period commencing on or after 1 July 2019.

In addition to their salary, ministerial staff receive superannuation which is 9.5 per cent of their annual salary. Section 71 ministerial staff are also entitled to the same recreation leave, personal leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, long service leave, retention leave and special leave as persons employed in the South Australian Public Service, but are not entitled to any recreation leave loading.
