Payments to board & committee members – statutory and NON-STATUTORY

The Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR) Shared Services Hub is seeking information from other agencies on processes/ procedures to manage and pay both Statutory and Non-Statutory Board and Committee Members. Of particular interest is:

  1. Are they paid through payroll or finance?
  2. How do you decide on the correct payment pathway?
  3. How is superannuation applied?
  4. Other thoughts/ considerations?

Contact is tonia.handcock@industry.gov.au.

Thank you

New Parental Leave Conditions

Hoping to contact other agencies that have managed to figure out the new parental leave conditions to discuss the payroll and systems administration of the process.

We have the current documentation from APSC and want to make sure that we are applying the conditions consistently with other agencies. Advice I received from APSC yesterday says that they are planning on hosting focus groups in the near future, however as the process is already effective under our EA we need to have an interim process in place now.

Happy to also share our thoughts and processes as well.

Thanks in advance!

0.92% one-off payment – are agencies paying this to ses and equivalents?

Good morning – CASA is interested to know if with any up-coming SES/Equivalents salary increases you are also including the 0.92% as well.  Straw poll of 3 agencies indicates it is a bit divided.  Any information provided will be treated in confidence.

Thank you

Reviewing Aurion

Australian National Maritime Museum are currently reviewing Aurion, the cost benefits of updates and whether it is more suitable for larger agencies that can use all of its capabilities.

As a smaller agency, I feel that we may need a smaller system, thus I’d be interested in what agencies are doing.

  1. Is your agency currently using Aurion?
  2. If you’re using anything different, what system?
  3. Are you looking to move away from Aurion?

Many thanks

Regards

METRICS REQUEST – Span of control

Just wondering if other small agencies with 250 or less employees would be able to share with me the number/make up of their HR teams i.e., headcount/FTE and classification and how many staff they supervise.

Thanks

Individual Flexibility Arrangements

Good Morning,

 

The AEC is reviewing our approach to managing Individual Flexibility Arrangements and we are reaching out to other agencies to see if you can share any information about how you manage requests for additional salary.

 

Any information or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,
