It is important for the Member to be aware that the term"outstanding" is interpreted as "overdue" which refers to job orders that have been issued, however have not been returned to the Department for payment. In some cases a contractor may have completed the work but not submitted an invoice. The work would have been done in the majority of cases. This is how the Department's systems records and reports on job orders.
It is also important to note that the Department issued 86913 job orders between 1 July and 30 November 2011. This equates to approximately 17400 job orders issued per month.
Of the 11546 total outstanding (overdue) job orders as at 30 November 2011, only 7250 overdue job orders were issued between 1 July 2011 and 2 December 2011.
The remaining 4296 overdue job orders were issued prior to 1 July 2011, and are deemed to be job orders completed but have not been claimed by Contractors for payment, or are subject to work validation.
(1) 11546 overdue job orders
