Targeted Voluntary Separation Packages

In reply to Mr GEE (Taylor) (18 November 2020). (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 872 TVSPs and executive separations (761.1 FTEs) were accepted during 2019-20, and that the following expenses were incurred (excluding payments associated with accrued leave):

TVSP and executive separation payments—$73.9 million

Payroll tax and shared services fees—$1.1 million

Expenses associated with 754 acceptances were centrally reimbursed—$64.0 million for TVSP and executive separation payments and $1.0 million for payroll tax and shared services fees.

Agencies met costs associated with the other 118 acceptances—$9.9 million for TVSP and executive separation payments and $0.1 million for payroll tax and shared services fees.

In a number of cases there is a difference between acceptance and separation dates.

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. Instead a central budget allocation of $50 million has been included in 2020-21.
