2012 APS Remuneration Report

1. Background

The APS Remuneration Report (the Report) is an annual snapshot of remuneration, including Base Salary and other remuneration related benefits and payments, across the whole Australian Public Service (APS) as at 31 December each year. This 2012 report is based on a snapshot of data collected as at 31 December 2012.

The Report provides APS agencies with:

information on remuneration by classification level;

comparisons with the 2011 APS Remuneration Report;

detail on the key components of remuneration packages; and

a total APS remuneration picture.

This 2012 report is the second edition produced by the APSC. Between 2001 and 2010, the annual APS Remuneration Survey was undertaken by an

external consultant, and from 2010 it was mandated that all APS agencies participate.

When considering the Report data readers should note that the large agencies have a significant impact. The Department of Human Services, the Australian Taxation Office and the Department of Defence make up approximately 50.5% of the APS workforce and are influential on median figures.

At 31 December 2012, 113 agencies made up the APS and provided remuneration data for 2,727 SES employees and 150,895 non-SES employees. Please see Appendix A.1: Methodology for information on which employees are included and excluded from this Report.

2012 APS context

Changes in the profile of the APS workforce has contributed to the 2012 remuneration

2012 APS Remuneration Report iii

outcomes to a greater extent than in previous years: see explanation at Section 2.1: Base Salary.

The current enterprise bargaining cycle of the APS has also influenced outcomes in 2012. While the majority of enterprise bargaining was undertaken in 2011, the bargaining completed in 2012 covered approximately 16% of the APS workforce. The 2011 APS Remuneration Report noted that this portion of the APS workforce did not receive a general pay rise in 2011 and this may have contributed to a lower median Base Salary increase than would otherwise have been the case. With enterprise bargaining essentially being completed in the APS for the current bargaining round, the 16% of employees that did not receive a general pay increase in the 2011 period did so in 2012.

APS wages policy

In January 2011, the Australian Government Employment Bargaining Framework was replaced by the Australian Public Service Bargaining Framework (APSBF). The APSBF provides a number of remuneration policy

objectives, and recommended that salary increases in new APS workplace arrangements not exceed an average annualised wage increase (AAWI) of 3%. Wage increase outcomes may vary from year to year, but are to average at 3% over the life of the agreement.

Where agencies seek to establish an AAWI above 3%, an assessment of affordability by the Department of Finance and Deregulation is required. Agencies with salary rates below a threshold for a classification (5th percentile of the 2010 APS rates) may increase those salary rates to the threshold without that portion being counted in the AAWI assessment. The movement of employees through increment points within the pay scale for their classification is not included in the general wages increase calculation.

APS Executive Remuneration Management

In May 2012 the Government introduced the APS Executive Remuneration Management (ERM) policy to assist in maintaining appropriate pay

relativities at the Senior levels reflective of particular roles and responsibilities. The ERM requires agency heads to gain the agreement of the Public Service Commissioner before offering remuneration above a certain notional amount to an APS employee. The notional amount is a percentage of the base remuneration of the Secretaries’ classification structure, which increases in line with Secretaries’ pay increases.

APS classifications

The APS Classification Rules 2000 (the Rules) establish the general APS-wide classification arrangements. There are 11 APS Groups and two Training classifications within the Rules and all APS employees must be assigned a classification. In this report the only trainee data included in the results is for Graduates.

There may be a number of specialist classifications within each Group. In some agencies, specialist classifications attract different salary rates which expand the salary range for the classification Group within which they sit. For example, both

Medical Officer Classes 3 and 4 reside within Group 8. The remuneration data for specialist classifications is included in the relevant APS classification to which it corresponds. For example, the salaries for Medical Officer Classes 3 and 4 will be reported in the Executive Level 2 classification results.

Executive summary

Changes in APS workforce mobility and profile trends have been the key influences on the median movement in 2012. In the Australian Public Service (APS), the overall median Base Salary movement for all APS employees, taking into account both general salary increases and incremental advancement, from 2011 to 2012 was 5.8%.

From 2011 to 2012 the median Base Salary for non-Senior Executive Service (SES) classifications increased by 5.9% while the median Base Salary for SES classifications increased by 4.7%.

The median is the midpoint of all values. It is the point for which 50% of values are below and 50% of values are above (see Definitions).

There has been a marked reduction in the number of APS positions advertised for filling in 2012 compared with 2011 and a reduction in the number of non-ongoing APS employees. In 2012 there was a reduction of 24% in the total number of jobs gazetted on the APSjobs website. In 2011 there was over 29,000 employment outcomes gazetted compared with just over 20,700 employment outcomes in 2012. This has changed the trend in workforce movement both in and out of the APS, as well as promotions resulting in a larger proportion of APS employees remaining at the same classification in the same agency.

When employees remain at the same classification for longer, the value of the median moves towards the value of the third quartile (Q3) and the median movement reflects both general wage increases and incremental salary movement.

Non-ongoing APS employees are generally paid at the lower pay points in a salary scale due to the limited length of the non-ongoing contracts (see explanation at Section 5: Additional Information). The reduction of non-ongoing employees in 2012 compared with 2011 has reduced the proportion of employees being paid at the lower end of salary scales, which shifts the median towards the higher end of the scale.

At the SES classifications, the use of performance bonuses in 2012 has remained consistent with 2011 at all classifications. However, there has been a reduction in the use of motor vehicle allowances from 80.4% to 77.4%.

The Public Sector Superannuation Scheme and Public Sector Superannuation Accumulation Plan are the superannuation funds for 89.3% of the APS workforce in 2012. Only 5.6% of APS employees were members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme, down from 6.4% in 2011, with approximately 31.5% of them aged 55 years or over. However these members represent a significant proportion of the SES workforce: 26.0% at the SES 1 level, 35.4% at the SES 2 level and 42.9% at the SES 3 level.

Women’s median Base Salary as a proportion of men’s median Base Salary is between 97.4% at the APS 1 classification to 100.8% at the APS 3 classification. With the exception of the APS 1 and SES 1 classifications, women’s median Base Salary is within 1% of men’s median Base Salary for all classifications.

2. Key remuneration components

The key remuneration components reported in this section are Base Salary, Total Remuneration Package (Base Salary plus benefits), and Total Reward (Total Remuneration Package plus bonuses). To gain a complete understanding of APS remuneration, all elements of the key remuneration components need to be considered. The Total Reward provides the most complete overall remuneration information as it is made up of Base Salary and Total Remuneration Packages, as component parts.

2.1 Base Salary

The term Base Salary describes the full-time annualised salary paid to an employee. It includes salary sacrifice amounts (including pre-tax employee superannuation contributions made by salary sacrifice) and excludes bonuses and other benefits.

The median Base Salary movement for all APS classifications from 2011 to 2012 was 5.8%.

The non-SES classifications median Base Salary increased by 5.9% and the SES classifications median Base Salary increased by 4.7% from 2011 to 2012.

A longstanding feature of APS salary structures is incremental movement, or salary points within a pay scale (see Example 1). Most APS agencies have a number of increment points in the pay scale for each classification, typically between two and five. Employees advance annually to a higher increment point where they achieve at least satisfactory performance outcomes. As a general rule, when an employee reaches the top of the pay range for their classification, their Base Salary increases by only the general wage increase.

Example 1: Enterprise Agreement Pay Scale

Classification

Salary before commencement date

Salary from commencement date (3% increase)

Salary from 1 July 2012 - 3% increase

Salary from 1 July 2013 -3% increase

APS 6 $76,694 $78,995 $81,365 $83,806$73,554 $75,761

$78,034 $80,375$70,644 $72,763 $74,946 $77,194

In this example the general wage increase for employees is 3%, 3%, and 3%. Therefore, the increase for an employee at the top of the range is: 9.3% (compounding). For an employee on the bottom of the range just prior to the agreement coming into effect, the total increase in Base Salary over the life of the agreement is 18.6%.

The difference in the percentage increase between the two employees is due to the annual incremental movement at 1 July each year.

Compared with 2011, 2012 saw a marked reduction in employee mobility in and out of APS positions. The reduction in employee mobility means that APS employees are remaining in their current classification for longer and are moving up through the increment points within their current classification pay scale (rather than, for instance, being promoted to a higher classification). Newly promoted employees’ salaries usually start at, or near, the bottom of the pay scale. This has resulted in a general trend of a shift of median Base Salary values to higher up in the pay scale for the classification.


Example 2: Median movement between 2011 and 2012 for the APS 6 classification

In Example 2, during 2012 two employees receiving a Base Salary at the top of the pay scale were promoted to another classification. During the same period two employees were promoted to the classification and 10 employees already at that classification moved up to the next increment point. The effect was that the median Base Salary increased by 7.4% even though the salary rates increased by only 3%.

So, the median movement from 2011 to 2012 is the result of both salary progression through incremental movement and general wage increases, as provided for in enterprise agreements.

Table 2.1 provides 2011 and 2012 Base Salary movement. At the 95th percentile, the point where 95% of the values fall below, the movement from 2011 to 2012 varies from 2% at the APS 2,3,4,5 and 6 classifications to 6.5% at the SES 3 classification. The median movement trend is markedly different as it is sensitive to mobility in the APS. So when there is a higher vacancy rate compared with the previous year, the median value tends to move towards the value of the first quartile: as new employees generally commence with salaries at, or near, the bottom of a salary range. Conversely, when vacancy rates reduce compared with the previous year, the value of the median tends to move upwards toward the third quartile value, as employees remain longer in the same pay scale.

Figure 2.1: Median Base Salary by classification

Source: Table 2.1

The greatest increase in median Base Salary was at the APS 1 classification with a 6.8% increase. The 2011 median Base Salary movement reported for the APS 1 classification was 0.0% due to a doubling of the APS 1 population in that reporting period and the new employees starting at, or near, the bottom of the salary range. For 2012, the employee rate of engagement has slowed, consistent with the generalised slowdown of position filling across the APS, resulting in the median movement higher up the APS 1 salary range.

The employment trends for the APS 1 classification and the resultant changes in Base Salary is a clear example of what has happened across most of the classifications.

The Graduate and SES 3 classifications report the lowest median movement from 2011 to 2012 of 3.2% and 3.5% respectively. Graduate employees are generally classified as Graduates for only a year and therefore have no incremental advancement built into their salary structure.

2.2 Total Remuneration Package

Total Remuneration Package (TRP) includes Base Salary plus: agency superannuation contribution; motor vehicle cost /Executive Vehicle Scheme or cash in lieu of

motor vehicle; motor vehicle parking; and any other benefits and supplementary payments.

In essence, TRP covers Base Salary plus benefits. It excludes bonuses, as defined in Total Reward (see Definitions p.75 and 76), shift and overtime payments.

The average movement in median TRP across all classifications from 2011 to 2012 was 6.2%.

The non-SES classifications median TRP increased by 6.2%, and SES classifications median TRP increased by 5.2%.

The APS 1 classification saw the greatest increase in median TRP with a 7.5% increase from 2011. The key contributor is the increase in median Base Salary of 6.8%. The second greatest increase was 6.8% and was recorded at the APS 4 classification.

As demonstrated in Table 3.1, Base Salary makes up at least 85% of the Total Reward at the non-SES classifications and the key benefit received by non-SES employees is the employer superannuation contribution, the key contributor toTRP movement is the Base Salary movement: see explanation at Section 2.1: Base Salary.

The lowest median TRP increase was recorded from the Graduate classification; increasing 3.0% from 2011 to 2012, consistent with the Base Salary movement.

Total Remuneration Package movements by agency

Table 2.3 provides information on the median movement of the Total Remuneration Package (TRP) at each classification by agency. Agency TRP is used rather than Base Salary or Total Reward, as it covers the two most significant elements of APS remuneration: Base Salary and the employer superannuation contribution.

For a calculation to be made, an agency must have employees substantively at a classification level in both 2011 and 2012. As a result, the number of agencies for each classification will vary.

Table 2.3 shows the agency TRP median movement from 2011 to 2012 tended to be in the range of 4 and less than 6%.

In addition to the effect of the reduction in positions available for filling, one trend from enterprise bargaining that may affect the number of agencies at the higher end of the spectrum is the use of differential pay rises. Differential pay rises occur when differing pay increases are applied to different pay points within a classification, or to different classification levels. This could result in a top pay point being increased by a higher percentage than a lower pay point, with the lower increase being used as an offset for the higher pay point outcome.

Other outcomes from enterprise bargaining that could also influence higher outcomes is the introduction of a new top of the range pay point expanding the salary range. In agencies with a significant number of employees at the top of their salary range, both the addition of a new top of the range pay point or a differential pay outcome would contribute to shifting the median for that classification up to values greater than the standard across-the-board pay increases.

In the last enterprise bargaining round, a number of agencies altered pay scales in their enterprise agreements reducing the number of years it takes for an employee to move from the bottom of a pay range to the top. Combined with the slowing of employee mobility, this has resulted in a growing proportion of employees being paid at the top of the salary range, which will shift the median value near to, or at, the top of the range.

2.3 Total Reward

Total Reward is the sum of the Total Remuneration Package plus bonuses. Bonuses include individual performance, retention and productivity bonuses as well as whole-of-agency or group bonuses. Median performance bonuses in 2012 ranged from $725 at the APS 3 classification to $19,997 at the SES 3 classification.

The overall movement in median Total Reward across all classifications from 2011 to 2012 was 6.5%.

From 2011 to 2012, the non-SES median Total Reward increased by 6.5%, and the SES median Total Reward increased by 4.9%.

Consistent with TRP, the APS 1 classification saw the greatest increase in median Total Reward with an increase of 7.7% from 2011. This is a reflection of the increase in median Base Salary (see explanation at Section 2.1: Base Salary) and a significant increase in the number of APS 1 employees who received a productivity, sign-on or whole-of agency bonus in 2012 compared with 2011.

The APS 4 classification recorded the second highest increase in median change in Total Reward with an increase of 7.4%. An increase in the number of productivity, sign-on or whole-of agency bonus payments at this classification influenced the increase from 2011.

The Graduate classification received the lowest increase in Total Reward of 3.1%. This is consistent with the median movement of Base Salary and TRP of 3.2% and 3.0% respectively.

Detailed findings

3. Features of key remuneration components

3.1 Comparison of key remuneration components by classification

The comparison of the different components of the whole remuneration package provides an understanding of the contribution that each component makes to the whole.

Table 3.1 provides data on the makeup of remuneration paid across all classifications. It provides the proportion that Base Salary, benefits and bonuses makes on remuneration as a whole.

For all classifications the largest component of remuneration apart from Base Salary is the employer superannuation contribution.

Across the non-SES classifications, the Base Salary makes up between 84.8% and 86.7% of the remuneration received by employees. The TRP component makes up between 13.3% at the Graduate classification and 14.4% at the APS 2 level: most of which is the employer superannuation contribution.

At the SES level, the benefits component provides a greater contribution to the whole remuneration package compared to the non-SES classifications, varying from 21.8% at the SES 3 classification to 24.4% at the SES 1 classification. The benefits component is primarily composed of the employer superannuation contribution and motor vehicle benefits.

Bonus payments continue to make up only a minor part of the whole remuneration package. Bonuses only contribute to between 0.9% and 1.1% of all remuneration received in the SES classifications and up to 0.9% for the non-SES classifications.

Further information on the breakdown of Base Salary, TRP, and Total Reward can be found in Section 7: Remuneration Findings by Classification.

3.2 Motor vehicle allowances

The motor vehicle cost is the annualised cost of a motor vehicle for which the employee was able to use for private use. This includes the provision of a motor vehicle, running costs, insurance, repairs, maintenance and any fringe benefits tax payable. Cash-in-lieu of a vehicle is the total paid to an employee where they opted for cash instead of a motor vehicle provided for private use. Table 3.2 combines these allowances by classification.

Consistent with previous years, the use of motor vehicle allowances or cash in-lieu of motor vehicle allowances in 2012 was low in the non-SES classifications. The highest use of motor vehicle allowances at these classifications was at the EL 2 classification with 1.9% of employees receiving a benefit; all other classifications were at or below 0.3%.

There was a very small proportion of APS 3 to APS 6 employees who received a motor vehicle benefit in 2012. These employees tend to work with out-reach programs requiring a significant amount of driving from site to site on daily basis to enable them to undertake their duties. These vehicles are available for private use and hence are included in the data.

There has been a slight reduction in the use of motor vehicle allowances in the non-SES classifications, most noticeably at the EL 2 classification. In 2011 2.4%, or 319, EL 2 employees received a motor vehicle allowance. This reduced in 2012 to 1.9% or 249 EL 2 employees.

In addition to the reduction in the number of non-SES employees receiving a motor vehicle benefit, both the median and average amount paid for motor vehicle benefits decreased from 2011 to 2012 in all non-SES classifications except the EL 2 level.

At the SES classifications, the number of employees who received a motor vehicle benefit decreased from 2,168 SES employees in 2011 to 2,110 in 2012. There was a reduction in the proportion of SES employees who received some form of motor vehicle related allowance with 80.4% in 2011, to 77.4% in 2012.

Both the median and average amounts paid for motor vehicle benefits increased for all SES classifications. The increases in median values ranged from $89 at the SES 3 level to $428 at the SES 2. The increases to the average amount paid ranged from $294 at the SES 3 level to $885 at the SES 1 level.

3.3 Performance bonus

Performance bonuses may be available to APS employees through an enterprise agreement or other employment instrument, for example a Common Law Contract. The availability, eligibility and amounts vary across agencies. While performance is also recognised through other mechanisms such as salary or incremental advancement (which is reflected in Base Salary movement) this section reports only on performance bonus payments.

There were 20,216 employees (13.4%) of the non-SES workforce, and 815(29.9%) of the SES workforce who received a performance bonus in 2012.

The proportion of employees who received performance bonuses varied across the non-SES classification levels from 0% at the Graduate level to 24.4% at the EL 2 classification. The SES classifications had the highest percentage application of performance bonuses.

Across the board, the median performance bonus has increased compared to the findings in the 2011 Report.

Due to the low proportion of use of performance bonuses at the non-SES classifications, the figures at these classifications have been dominated by a single agency. This is a large agency with a high proportion of their workforce at the top of the salary range for their classifications, and an enterprise agreement that provides for a bonus payment for employees receiving a fully effective or higher rating in lieu of a salary increase. This agency’s enterprise agreement provided differing arrangements at the APS 3 classification to the other non-SES levels which is reflected in the differing median value compared with the classifications above and below.

The proportion of SES employees who received a performance bonus in 2012 was slightly lower than 2011: see Table 3.3. The 2012 results show an increase in both the median and the average size of the bonuses paid compared with 2011 with the most significant increases occurring at the SES 3 classification.

3.4 Superannuation

The median employer superannuation contribution for Graduate to EL 2 classifications in 2012 was between 15.4 and 17.2% of the employee’s base salary.

Table 3.6 ‘Number of employees by superannuation fund and age group’ provides important information for workforce planning. Due to the nature of the scheme, the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS) may provide a disincentive for its members to work beyond 55 years of age in some circumstances.

APS employee superannuation fund membership has been reported by five categories:

The Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS); The Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS); The Public Sector Superannuation Accumulation Plan (PSSap); The Australian Government Employees Superannuation Trust

(AGEST) and ‘Other’.

As the CSS and PSS closed to new members in 1990 and 2006 respectively, there were no APS employees in the CSS from 30–34 years of age and below, and the under 20 years of age category in the PSS.

There were 77,544 APS employees, or 50.5% of the APS workforce, in the PSS and 59,699 employees, or 38.9% of the workforce, in the PSSap. There has been a slight reduction in the proportion of employees in the CSS and PSS with a corresponding increase in proportion of employees in the PPSap.

Only 5.6% of APS employees were members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme, down from 6.4% in 2011 with approximately 31.5% of them aged 55 years or over. These members represent a significant proportion of the SES workforce: 26.0% at the SES 1 level, 35.4% at the SES 2 level and 42.9% of the SES 3 level.

A high superannuation contribution can be the result of a higher salary for the purposes of an employee’s Base Salary. It may also be due to an employee performing higher duties for more than 12 months at the time their superannuation was calculated. Alternatively, high rates may also be due to the methodology of annualising superannuation paid fortnightly based on ordinary time earnings for a fortnight with a large amount of shift work or overtime.

4. Payments in addition to key remuneration components

The following section provides information on payments that are not discussed in the preceding sections on Base Salary, Total Remuneration Package or Total Reward. They are reflective of situations outside the standard parameters and include remuneration data for taking on higher or additional duties and payments specific for geographical locations and particular hardship.

4.1 Acting classification

The data on acting classification salary is a snapshot of employees on duties at a higher or lower classification group for a consecutive period of 90 days or more as at 31 December 2012. That is, the employee had been performing acting duties ongoing since at least 3 October 2012.

Acting classification salary has not been included in any of the key remuneration component reporting. Note that acting duties may be performed with payment for shorter periods, but this information has not been collected.

There were 10,188 employees, or 6.6% of the workforce, reported to be acting on temporary assignment to a different classification level and had been performing the acting duties for at least 3 months or more. This has reduced from 2011 when 12,368 employees, or 7.9% of the workforce, were reported to be acting on temporary assignment to a different classification level.

The values shown in Table 4.1 are the salaries paid to employees undertaking acting duties. The median values, when compared with the Base Salary Table 2.1 shows that the acting salaries tend to be between the minimum and Q1 values. It demonstrates that employees undertaking higher duties tend to received salaries at or near the bottom of the higher classification salary range.

Table 4.2 shows the number of APS employees who were performing acting duties by the acting level and their substantive classification. This table also provides data on employees on temporary assignment at a lower classification level to their base classification.


Table 4.1: Acting classification salary by acting classification


Note: For the purposes of the APS Remuneration Report an employee was only reported as acting if they have been on temporary assignment to a higher or lower classification group for a continuous period of 90 days or more on or crossing 31 December 2012(i.e. since October 3). This table includes data on employees acting more than one classification above or below their base classification (for further detail see Table 4.2). The values of acting classification salary are all annualised values.

4.2 Geographic/locality allowance

Table 4.3 provides data for a cluster of allowances, variously described across agency enterprise agreements, which relate to a particular locality or geographical region. Examples of such allowances include: disturbance allowance, district allowance, remote localities assistance, leave fare and overseas allowance. It excludes disability related allowances such as location-specific hardship allowances: see Section 4.3.

For all classifications, 6.6% of APS employees received a geographic or locality allowance in 2012; 8.1% of the SES workforce and 6.5% of the non-SES workforce.

From Table 4.3 the classifications with the highest proportion of employees receiving a geographic/locality allowance in 2012 were the Graduate and APS 3 classifications. The EL 2 and EL 1 classifications had the lowest proportion of employees in receipt of geographic/locality allowances.

The Graduate, APS 3, 4 and 5 classifications had the lowest median of allowances received, with the SES classification the highest medians.

Compared with 2011 figures, the median amount paid in geographic/locality allowances decreased for 8 of the classifications, as did the average payment.

4.3 Disability allowance

Disability related allowances are intended to address specific instances where an employee may need to work in circumstances where they are subject to specific discomforts and/or difficulties. These allowances may be applied for situations both within Australia and overseas and may be location and/or duty specific. Examples of disability allowances include, but are not limited to: duty at sea, hardship, inspection certifying dangerous goods, marine crew accommodation, self-contained breathing apparatus, south ocean operations training and working conditions allowances.

For all classifications 3.7% of APS employees received a disability allowance in 2012.

Table 4.4 shows that non-SES classifications have lower proportions of employees in receipt of disability allowances compared to SES. The proportion of employees in non-SES classifications that received such an allowance ranged from 1.0% for APS 1 to 5.4% for APS 5 classification. In contrast, the SES levels ranged from 5.9% of SES 1 employees to 7.9% of the SES 3 workforce.

The Graduate and APS 4 levels received the lowest median disability allowance of $530. The highest median disability allowance of $44,841 was at the SES 1 classification.

Particular hardship locations, including overseas, have contributed significantly to the amounts paid.

4.4 Additional duties/responsibilities allowance

The additional duties/responsibility allowances include, but are not limited to, First Aid Officer, Fire Warden and Workplace Health & Safety Officer allowances.

For information on higher duties, see Section 4.1.

The classifications which tend to have additional duties that attract an allowance are at the APS 5, APS 6 and APS 3 levels, in order of the classification with the highest proportion of employees who received such an allowance. The non-SES classifications with the lowest proportion of employees who received additional duties allowance in 2012 were the Graduate and EL 2 classifications.

The additional duties at the SES classifications are a reflection of the need in some agencies for SES level employees to be available at all time, to take on additional duties at times of crisis. This is more likely to occur in agencies with a presence overseas.

The median amounts were generally consistent across all non-SES classifications. This may be a reflection of enterprise agreement provisions providing allowances of similar value for the additional duties, based on the duty not the classifications. The range of amounts paid for an additional duty varies depending on the nature of the additional duty. For example First Aid Officer and Fire Warden duties attract a lesser amount compared to Use of Force allowance. However First Aid Officer and Fire Warden duties are more numerous and hence represent the values at P5, Q1, median and Q3 in Table 4.5.


Table 4.5: Additional duties/responsibilities allowance by classification


Note: Examples of an additional duties/responsibilities allowance includes, but is not limited to: first aid, warden, supervisory, Fire Warden, Occupational Health and Safety Representative, patent examiner translation, special duties, use of force, Workplace Harassment Contact Officer, workplace responsibility, workplace support allowance.

5. Additional information

The following section provides information on remuneration outcomes by employment instrument, by sex and by employment category.

5.1 Employment instrument

An APS employee may have their terms and conditions set by one of the following primary employment instruments:

Enterprise agreements (EA); Australian Workplace Agreements (AWA); Public Service Act Determinations (s24(1) and (3)) (PSAD); or Common law arrangements (CLA).

A secondary employment instrument, an individual flexibility arrangement (IFA), may be used to vary the terms and conditions of an enterprise agreement subject to the employee being better off overall than they would have if no IFA were agreed to.

Employees in the non-SES classifications are usually employed under an EA with very small numbers at these levels using AWAs, PSADs and CLAs. While there has been a reduction in the number of AWAs from 2011 to 2012, the use of PSADs and CLAs has increased, but in only small numbers.

As at 31 December 2012, IFAs were in place for 3,184 APS employees. At the non-SES classifications IFAs were used most commonly at the EL 2 level with 1,652 or 12.6% of EL 2 employees.

As shown in Table 5.1, the most commonly used primary employment instrument at the SES levels was a PSAD.

For non-SES classifications, PSADs tended to deliver a lower median Base Salary compared with other employment instruments. Note that at the non-SES classifications PSADs are used as a short-term interim instrument during periods of structural change, such as machinery of government changes. CLAs provided the highest median salary outcomes at the non-SES classifications, but CLAs are used rarely with EL 2 having the highest use of only 0.4%.

At the SES classifications, there is no pattern as to which instrument provided the highest median value. At the SES 1 it was AWAs, SES 2 PSADs and at the SES 3, CLAs provided the highest median Base Salary. There was little difference between the median values provided by AWAs, PSADs and CLAs.

5.2 Remuneration data by sex

This section provides information on the key remuneration components based on sex by classification level. Reporting on this dimension commenced in 2008 and the 2012 Report continues this time series.

Table 5.4 provides data on womens’ median base salary as a proportion of mens’ Base Salary. In 2012, womens’ Base Salary as a proportion of mens’ Base Salary was 100% or over at four classifications and varied from 97.4% at the APS 1 classification to 100.7% at the SES 3 level.

There were no significant differences between the sexes across the three key remuneration components: Base Salary, TRP and Total Reward across all classification levels at the median values. Across the 5th to 95th percentiles, the only variation is some deviation towards men at the 95th percentile at the SES 3 level.

5.3 Employment category

APS employees may be engaged on either an ongoing or non-ongoing basis. Table 5.8 provides detail on the Base Salary by employment category and classification. Note, casual employees (non-ongoing employed for duties that are irregular or intermittent) have been excluded.

With the exception of the APS 1 classifications, employees were overwhelmingly engaged on an ongoing basis. This is consistent with the Public Service Act 1999 s22(3) that “the usual basis for engagement is as an ongoing APS employee”.

At the APS 1 classification, 66.5% of employees are employed on an ongoing basis. APS 2, 3 and SES 3 have non-ongoing employee populations of between 10.7% and 11.3%.

The number of non-ongoing employees at 31 December 2012 was lower than 31 December 2011.

The median Base Salary for employees engaged on an ongoing basis was consistently higher than non-ongoing employees with the exception of the SES 3 classification. As engagement on a non-ongoing basis is time limited, there is not the same time available for these employees to move up salary spans. Hence the trend of higher median Base Salaries for employees engaged on an on-going basis is not unexpected.

Note: OG = Ongoing employees—includes employees who are employed under PS Act s22(2)(a)NOG = Non-ongoing employees—only includes employees who are on specified term/specified task PS Act s22(2)(b). Employees under s22(2)(c), commonly known as casuals,

6. Historical data

Section 6 provides historical data on the: Median Base Salary for all classifications since 2002; Percentage change in median Base Salary for all classifications

since 2003; and Percentage change in median Total Reward by classification since

2003.

When considering the historical data, changes in methodology over the reported period needs to be taken into account. Prior to 2010 when all agencies were required to provide remuneration data, participation in the APS Remuneration surveys was voluntary. While agency participation rates consistently increased over the decade, the composition of which agencies participated could vary between years. In 2011 the data collection changed from being managed by a private contractor to being the responsibility of the Australian Public Service Commission. Changes in the collection and treatment of data have occurred across the entire period that APS remuneration data has been reported on.

There has been a significant increase in sample size from between 22,000 to 29,000 records reported in the years prior to 2009, to 120,000 records in 2009. In 2011 the Report moved from a sample methodology to census. That is, since 2011 all relevant records submitted have been reported on in the Remuneration Reports.

Over the last decade, median Base Salaries have consistently increased.

Appendixes

A.1 Methodology

All APS agencies were required to report data for all employees that were employed under s22 and s72 of the Public Service Act 1999 (PS Act) as at the 31 December 2012. Although it was collected, data on trainees and cadets are excluded from the findings in this report. Unless noted in the tables, ongoing and non-ongoing employees are grouped together.

This report covers most staff employed under s22(a), s22(b) and s72 of the PS Act as at 31 December 2012 —employees on leave without pay (LWOP) are excluded. This report excludes Casuals under s22(2)(c), Locally Engaged Employees under the PS Act s74, Agency Heads, and office holders whose remuneration is set by the Remuneration Tribunal.

To ensure that the data received was accurate, data from agencies was checked by APSED staff. Any discrepancies identified were returned to agencies for correction and resubmission. At the conclusion of the cleaning process, a summary of the agency’s data was sent to an SES level employee or Director of HR who certified that their agency’s summary data was accurate. Only then was the dataset finalised.

Data in this report should not be used to calculate past or present populations of the APS. For accurate population data, please consult the APS Statistical Bulletin, also produced by the APS Commission.

Part-time employees’ data has been changed to full-time equivalent (FTE) and, for many variables, employees who have worked only part of the year (though active as at 31 December) have had their data annualised. This ensures that each employee’s data has equal weighting.

Employees who started a graduate program in 2012 are shown as a ‘Graduate’, even if they had advanced to an operational classification by 31 December. For the latter employees, remuneration is at their last day as a Graduate.

The columns of the tables may not add up because TRP and TR are calculated separately for each individual employee and it is these values that determine the median. Therefore, the median TR figure will not necessarily be the sum of all median values of the components which make up TR. It will be the median value of TR for all employees.

Data values published in the 2011 APS Remuneration Report have had a small revision and the revised values have been incorporated in this Report. Please note that a very small number of values for data as at December 2011 will not match across the 2011 and the 2012 Reports.

A.2 Definitions

nn is the number of employees.

AverageThe average is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the total number of values. This is also known as arithmetical average and mean.

The following statistical terms are determined by ordering the data values in ascending order:

MedianThe median value is the midpoint of all values. It is the point for which 50% of values are below and 50% of values are above.

Q1The first quartile (Q1) is the point for which 25% of values are below and 75% of values are above.

Q3The third quartile (Q3) is the point for which 75% of values are below and 25% of values are above.

P5The 5th percentile (P5) is determined by dividing the distribution of values into 100 equal parts and then identifying the point where 5% of the values are below and 95% of values are above.

P95 The 95th percentile (P95) is determined by dividing the distribution of values into 100 equal parts and then identifying the point where 95% of the values are below and 5% of values are above.

Example: values ranging from 1 to 20 inclusive

0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

The tables in this report were prepared using SAS. There are many methods used to determine the median, quartiles and percentiles. Where a data point falls between two values, the method used in this report takes the mean of those two values.

Base SalaryBase Salary describes the full-time equivalent annualised salary paid to an employee. It includes salary sacrifice amounts (including pre-tax employee superannuation contributions made by salary sacrifice) and excludes bonuses and other benefits.

Total Remuneration Package (TRP)TRP is defined as being Base Salary plus the value of any benefits including superannuation and motor vehicles.

TRP = Base Salary + Agency superannuation contribution + Motor vehicle cost/EVS + Cash in lieu of motor vehicle


+ Motor vehicle parking + Other benefits + Other supplementary payments not otherwise described

Total Reward (TR)TR is defined as being TRP plus bonuses.

TR = TRP + Actual performance bonus paid in previous 12 months + Actual retention bonus payments paid in previous 12 months + Productivity bonus + Sign on bonuses+ Group or whole of agency performance bonus and allowances

Total Rewards plus Allowances (TR+A)TR+A is defined as being TR plus allowances.

TR+A = TR + Additional duties/responsibilities allowances + Qualifications and/or skills based allowances + Market related allowances, specific job+ Market related allowances, specific individual+ Superannuation allowances+ Income maintenance allowance+ Hours of duty allowances+ Expense allowances + Geographic/locality allowances+ Disability allowances+ Health and lifestyle allowances + Individual performance related allowances + Annual leave loading

How to read a box plot:

The size of the squares in relation to each other also reveals how evenly distributed the data values are. For example, looking at the Agency bar in the plot above, the lower two squares (P5 to Median) are shorter than the two above (Median to P95). This indicates that there is a smaller range in values for the bottom 45% compared to the top 45%. The APS bar illustrates that the APS data values appear to be more evenly distributed as all four squares appear to be of similar length.
