QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Economic Audit Committee Final Report Recommendation (41), ‘Increase the mobility of Senior Executive Service (SES) officers to foster a whole of Government rather than an individual agency perspective by:
a) adopting employment arrangements that encourage mobility of SES officers between Agencies;
b) introducing alternative arrangements for senior executive remuneration setting by amending relevant legislation to allow the responsible employer to set individual remuneration for senior executive employees within established bands; and
c) reviewing the recruitment criteria of SES positions to ensure broad exposure to a range of strategic and operational environments’,
and I ask -
(1) What are the employment arrangements that will be adopted to encourage mobility of SES officers between Agencies?
(2) What are the current arrangements for senior executive remuneration setting?
(3) What are the alternative arrangements for senior executive remuneration setting?
(4) Will there be a cap for the setting of individual remuneration for senior executive employees within established bands?
(5) What costings have been done to allow for the setting of individual remuneration for senior executive employees within established bands?
(6) What is the current recruitment criteria in place for SES positions?
(7) Who will review the recruitment criteria of SES positions to ensure broad exposure to a range of strategic and operational environments?
(8) How will savings be achieved by implementing recommendation 41?
(9) What is the total expected savings to Government on an annual basis from recommendation number 41 of the Economic Audit Committee?
