I thank Hon Giz Watson for some notice of this question. (1) As at 21 June 2005, 106 public sector employees are centrally registered for redeployment. Sixty-four of these employees are actively seeking alternative employment and 42 are currently in temporary placements. (2) This information is not centrally maintained. However, The West Australian ’s claim of $5.8 million being spent on redeployees appears to be an average of the annual salary costs paid to those employees. This claim is not indicative of the cost for employees in redeployment. While awaiting redeployment, redeployees are productively employed in a variety of positions, either internal or external to their employing agency. (3)-(4) No. Redeployees are required to actively participate in the redeployment process and accept the first offer of suitable alternative employment. (5)-(6) All redeployees are assigned to a case manager who both assists their efforts to secure alternative employment and ensures compliance with redeployment responsibilities.
