Performance pay
Non-SES employee performance-related bonuses for the 2011–12 performance management cycle totalled $1.829 million, an increase of 19.1 per cent from the $1.536 million paid in the previous cycle. A total of 988 non-SES employees received bonuses in this performance management period, an increase of 17 per cent from 2010–11. This is due to the higher number of staff now at the top of each band or broadband since annual increments were introduced in the 2009–10 performance cycle.
SES employee bonuses for 2011–12 totalled $723 000, up from $643 000 in 2010–11, representing an increase of 12.5 per cent. Eligible SES officers were paid a two per cent bonus on their annual base salary, recognising that SES employees do not have access to incremental advancement.
