Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) and (2) The answers to these questions are detailed below.

The department uses the Department of Treasury Salary and Admin On-Cost Model (October 2008) to determine salary on-costs estimates for each generic classification based on an average salary cost for each classification, and a standard figure for administrative on-costs.

The salary on-costs include estimates for Superannuation; Employer Productivity Superannuation Contribution; Long Service Leave Provision; Annual Leave Loading; Workers’ Compensation Premium, and other issues as necessary on a case-by-case basis. The salary on-cost total is 16.41% of the average salary.

The administrative on-cost model is based on average estimates for IT and communications related costs; accommodation; insurance; training; fleet; other administrative items including OH&S expenses, office machines and equipment, stationery and postage; and a corporate component covering payroll and human resources costs per FTE across Government. The total standard figure for administrative on-costs (in the October 2008 Guideline) was $15,790.

The Salary and Administration On-Cost Model is updated annually to assist with budget preparation.

The budgeted marginal on-cost of an additional worker during 2009 10 at current staffing levels is determined using the Department of Treasury Salary and On-Cost Model as detailed above.
