redundancies were granted?

total current cost of redundancy payments paid to term-of-government employees

I thank the member for some notice of
this question.
(1) Yes.
(2) There were three.
(3) It is not
appropriate to name the employees involved. The positions and levels are: chief
of staff, class 1; principal policy adviser, level 7; and reception–administrative
assistant, level 2.
(4) The amount
was $178 082 for redundancy payments. This includes only the severance
component and payment in lieu of notice; it does not include accrued and pro
rata leave entitlements. The value of accrued and pro rata leave entitlements
is $136 938.04.
