The Western Australia Police Service (WAPS) advise that the Department of Transport do not employ Traffic Wardens. All Wardens are employed by WAPS.
WAPS further advise:
(a) WAPS currently employ 54 Metropolitan and 43 Country Relief Traffic Wardens.
(b) The previous payroll system did not record the type of warden (relief or assigned) and extensive research would be required to identify which wardens were relief wardens. The Traffic Warden State Management Unit or the Police Service would have to divert resources from more important and pressing duties to analyse and present this information and as such the information requested is unable to be provided.
(c) The current rate of pay is $14.16 per hour. For the reasons stated in (b) the information requested is unable to be provided.
(d) The total amount of motor vehicle allowance paid to Relief Traffic Wardens, 2000/2001 = $190,810.57 and 2001/2002 = $162,094.62. For the reasons stated in (b) the information requested is unable to be provided.
(e) There are no projected savings to the Police Service.
(f) The travelling allowance was in fact expanded to include all Traffic Wardens who travelled more than five kilometres from their place of residence to their allocated crossing. Adjustments were made to the Motor Vehicle Allowance (MVA) Claim System so that all Traffic Wardens would be employed under an equitable system.
(g - i) A review panel, comprising two Traffic Wardens nominated by the staff of the Traffic Warden State Management Unit (TWSMU), two Traffic Wardens nominated by the Traffic Wardens’ Social Club, a representative from the WA Police Industrial Relations Branch, the Administration and Training Officer of the TWSMU, and the Manager TWSMU, met to consider changes in the contracts to be offered to Traffic Wardens for 2003. The only body which has approached management on behalf of Traffic Wardens to discuss their employment issues has been the Traffic Wardens’ Social Club.
Relief Traffic Wardens were represented by one of the Traffic Wardens who had been employed to undertake that role. The Police Service considered this reasonable given that Relief Traffic Wardens comprise approximately 10% of all Wardens employed by the WA Police Service.
(j) The Police Service’s minutes of the Meeting held 12 December 2002 are attached.
(k) Three letters were received. The Traffic Warden State Management Unit conducted a further review in April 2003 and recommended that no further changes be made.
WAPS further advise:
(a) WAPS currently employ 54 Metropolitan and 43 Country Relief Traffic Wardens.
(b) The previous payroll system did not record the type of warden (relief or assigned) and extensive research would be required to identify which wardens were relief wardens. The Traffic Warden State Management Unit or the Police Service would have to divert resources from more important and pressing duties to analyse and present this information and as such the information requested is unable to be provided.
(c) The current rate of pay is $14.16 per hour. For the reasons stated in (b) the information requested is unable to be provided.
(d) The total amount of motor vehicle allowance paid to Relief Traffic Wardens, 2000/2001 = $190,810.57 and 2001/2002 = $162,094.62. For the reasons stated in (b) the information requested is unable to be provided.
(e) There are no projected savings to the Police Service.
(f) The travelling allowance was in fact expanded to include all Traffic Wardens who travelled more than five kilometres from their place of residence to their allocated crossing. Adjustments were made to the Motor Vehicle Allowance (MVA) Claim System so that all Traffic Wardens would be employed under an equitable system.
(g - i) A review panel, comprising two Traffic Wardens nominated by the staff of the Traffic Warden State Management Unit (TWSMU), two Traffic Wardens nominated by the Traffic Wardens’ Social Club, a representative from the WA Police Industrial Relations Branch, the Administration and Training Officer of the TWSMU, and the Manager TWSMU, met to consider changes in the contracts to be offered to Traffic Wardens for 2003.
