Performance pay
The former AusAID 2012–13 performance management cycle concluded on 31 August 2013. For this cycle, 870 employees (SES and non-SES) received a bonus, totalling $1.829 million. In the DFAT 2012–13 performance cycle, 1238 non-SES employees received bonuses totalling $2.394 million.
As a result of integration, former AusAID and Climate Change employees participated in the DFAT 2013–14 performance cycle which concluded on 31 March 2014. A total of 2433 non-SES employees received a performance bonus, at a cost of $4.820 million in this cycle. The increase in bonuses paid in the 2013–14 performance cycle is due to increased staff numbers resulting from integration and the higher number of staff at the top of each band or broadband since annual increments were introduced in the 2009–10 performance cycle.
Table 26 shows the total bonus payments made for the reporting period covering the former AusAID and DFAT performance cycles. The total number of staff receiving a performance bonus for this reporting period was 3303, totalling $6.649 million.
