I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The total
number of offers made under the state governmentXXX ###XXXs
recent targeted voluntary separation scheme was 440; of these, 265 accepted.
The total estimated gross payout for those 265 is $19 935 359. The reason the
gross payout number is estimated is that the total may vary depending on leave
and other pay adjustments required on termination.
(2) Agency
savings flowing from the scheme will be dependent on the final costs and will
be allocated to agency budgets as part of the 2015–16 midyear review.
The scheme closure date is 30 June 2015.
