Decision

(4) The Tribunal has considered the current economic environment, noting the WA State Budget 2024-25 and the Public Sector Wages Policy.

(5) The Tribunal notes the ongoing attraction and retention concerns experienced in the public sector and the impact limited salary increases over the medium term have had, along with broader employment market conditions. 

(6) The Tribunal has determined a general 4% increase in remuneration for officers within this Determination with the exception of Office Holders in the Third Schedule, who received a general increase in October 2023. This increase remains in line with the increases available to the wider public service and provided to other groups in the Tribunal’s jurisdiction.

(8) The 4% increase has been applied to the maximum and minimum of the salary bands.

(9) In addition to the general salary increase, the salaries of some individual positions have been adjusted following review and assessment by the Tribunal in response to submissions from the Office Holders.

• Director General, Department of Finance;
• Auditor General, Office of the Auditor General; and
• Commissioner of Corrective Services, Department of Justice.
   

(10) The Tribunal has continued its structural review of the Special Division which began in 2023 where some changes to select Band 3 and 4 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) were made in November 2023 and continued with adjustments made to Band 1 CEOs in January 2024. In this determination, the Tribunal has reviewed the work value classification of Band 2 CEOs. and where appropriate, have realigned the positions within the Band 2 range. 

(11) The Tribunal has conducted substantial analysis of CEO positions as well as any attraction and retention concerns, comparisons with other position within WA and other jurisdictions, along with anything else the Tribunal finds relevant, and where required, have reclassified positions within their respective band ranges to better reflect the work value of the position. The Tribunal made adjustments to select Band 3 and 4 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) in November 2023 and Band 1 CEOs in January 2024. The Tribunal has finalised its structural review of Special Division CEOs with some adjustments made to Band 2 CEOs in this determination.

Table 4: Annual salary range for the classification of Chief Executive Officers in the Special Division of the Public Service

Table 5: Annual salary range for the classification of non-Chief Executive Officers in the Special Division of the Public Service

PART 3 MOTOR VEHICLE BENEFITS

3.1 General

(1) In addition to the salary determined for the office holders listed in Part 1 of this Schedule, those office holders have an entitlement to an allowance which may be taken as cash with salary or may be utilised to access a motor vehicle for private use leased through State Fleet. 

(2) The vehicle (being part of the Government-owned State Fleet) should be managed in accordance with the policies and conditions established and amended from time to time by the Department of Finance (the effective owner of the State Fleet). Applicable terms and conditions are currently set out in the document “State Fleet – General Agreement”.

(3) A person holding more than one Special Division or Prescribed Office, shall be entitled to a motor vehicle or cash in lieu of a motor vehicle for one such office only, being the office classified or remunerated at the highest level.

(4) An individual accessing a vehicle under this Part shall take due care of the condition and security of the vehicle. This includes responsibility for ensuring the vehicle is regularly serviced and maintained at government expense according to the manufacturer’s recommended specifications, and making arrangements for off-street parking at home, whenever practicable, with appropriate security precautions taken at all times.  Any theft or damage should be reported to the Agency Fleet Coordinator.

(5) Office Holders who choose to lease an Electric Vehicle (EV) need to be aware that the costs associated with re-fuelling an electric vehicle are not included in published annual operating costs and are the responsibility of the officeholder. Office Holders will be responsible for making their own arrangements for at-home EV charging infrastructure and energy costs. Office Holders may not utilise office-based charging infrastructure nor agency-provided recharging cards to refuel SAT vehicles.

(6) Motor vehicles leased for Office Holders under this Determination or a previous Determination of the Tribunal shall not be changed or cash in lieu taken prior to the expiration of the lease.

(7) While the vehicle may be used anywhere in Western Australia at no cost to the individual, if the vehicle is driven interstate, the individual is liable for the cost of fuel and oil while interstate. Furthermore, if used outside of Western Australia, the custodian must be in the vehicle at all times that it is being used.

(8) Should the officer choose not to use the vehicle, supplied through State Fleet, for business, or for travelling to and from work, but allows and authorises the vehicle to be used for private use during business hours by another family member or person, they are not entitled to access another government vehicle for their private use, including transport to and from work.

(9) Should the officer choose to take cash in lieu of a motor vehicle supplied through State Fleet, it is not the Tribunal’s intent that this should result in additional government expense or an increase in the government fleet to provide transport for the Office Holder during business hours.  The Office Holder is not entitled to claim a mileage allowance for use of their private vehicle for work purposes.  Neither are they entitled to access another government vehicle for their personal use including transport to and from work.

3.2 Value of the lease and the cost to the Office Holder

(1) The annual whole of life cost allowance for the vehicle (including accessories) shall be $26,000 p.a.

(2) The annual whole of life cost of the vehicle shall be calculated on a pro rata basis in accordance with the proportion of full-time hours worked by an Office Holder.

(3) Office Holders located in non-metropolitan locations that require a four-wheel drive vehicle for operational reasons, can apply to the employing authority for the issue of a four-wheel drive vehicle in lieu of the entitlement mentioned in this Section. 

(4) The total whole of life cost of the chosen vehicle and accessories determined in this section, must be borne by the Office Holder. This includes the purchase cost of any accessories and the installation cost and removal costs if required, before disposal of the vehicle. 

(5) In the event an Office Holder’s motor vehicle requires modifications to cater for a disability, resulting in total vehicle costs higher than the notional lease value, then the reasonable additional cost may be approved by the Office Holder’s employing authority. 

(6) Where the annual whole of life cost in accordance with this Determination is less than the relevant motor vehicle benefit determined in this section, the difference in the cost to Government is to be paid fortnightly as part of the Office Holder’s remuneration.

(7) Where the annual whole of life cost of a vehicle and accessories is greater than the relevant benefit, the difference in cost is to be subtracted fortnightly from the Office Holder’s remuneration. Salary adjustments are fixed once the Office Holder commits to a vehicle model and accessory package – regardless of any fluctuations in whole of life costs occurring up to, and post delivery. However, in the event the Office Holder elects to amend the vehicle lease term (including lease extensions or increased lease kilometres), a salary adjustment review (taking into account the revised whole of life costs) must be undertaken and applied. Vehicle leases must be aligned to actual usage.

(8) The method of determining whether an additional contribution must be made by the Office Holder or the surplus is to be paid to the Office Holder, shall be based on the annual whole of life cost to the Government of the vehicle sought (using the formula detailed below), compared with the annual whole of life cost allowance. 

(9) The whole of life cost of the vehicle benefit must include the lease cost (based on nominated lifespan and kilometres), Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and all other operating costs.  The formula to be adopted in valuing the motor vehicle is outlined in Table 6. 

Table 6: Whole of life cost of a Motor Vehicle Formula

(9) FBT is costed at applicable Australian Taxation Office rates.  FBT is costed at purchase price (including GST) x Statutory fraction x Gross up (2.0802) x FBT rate (0.470).  A ‘Fringe Benefits Tax Exempt Agency’ means where an organisation is exempt from FBT in accordance with Commonwealth Government legislation, a notional amount equal to the standard FBT must be added to the cost of the benefit.

(10) Each lease should be tailored to achieve the most cost-effective arrangement based on individual usage patterns.

3.3 Choice of motor vehicle

(1) Where an Office Holder elects to access a leased vehicle under State Fleet arrangements, they may choose any vehicle and accessories in the relevant Western Australian Government Common Use Agreement or an “off contract” vehicle and accessories available under Government leasing arrangements in accordance with the following criteria.

(2) Office Holders unable to access their choice of vehicle within the scope of the arrangements set out in this Determination should elect to make their own arrangements to meet their personal transport needs.

3.4 Cash value of the motor vehicle benefit

(1) Where the Office Holder elects not to be provided with a motor vehicle through State Fleet, they are entitled to the cash value being paid fortnightly as additional remuneration.

(2) The cash value of a motor vehicle shall be calculated on a pro rata basis in accordance with the proportion of full-time hours worked by an Office Holder.

PART 4 DISTRICT AND TRAVEL ALLOWANCES

4.1 District Allowances

(1) Officer holders listed in this Section shall be entitled to the applicable district allowances, if they are residing in the relevant region of their department or agency, in accordance with the Circular 3/2019 - District Allowance Rates and the relevant provisions of the Public Service Award 1992 as at the date of this Determination. Applicable FBT shall be payable by the relevant department or agency.

(2) For the purposes of calculating the standard rate, dependant rate or partial dependant rate applicable under the Circular 3/2019 - District Allowance Rates, the standard rates set out in Table 7 below shall form the basis of the calculations unless and until determined otherwise by the Tribunal.

Table 9: District Allowances

4.2 Travel Allowances – Annual Leave Travel Concessions

(1) Office holders listed in this section are entitled to travel allowances in accordance with the Public Service Award 1992 (as at the date of this Determination) and described in clause 23(10) of that Award as "Annual Leave Travel Concessions".

Table 8: Travel Allowances – Annual Leave Travel Concessions

PART 5 HOUSING AND UTILITIES

5.1 Rental Subsidies

(1) Office holders listed in this section are entitled to the applicable Government Regional Officers Housing (GROH) rental subsidies, if they are residing in the relevant region of their department or agency, in accordance with the Department of Communities GROH Tenant Rent Setting Framework Policy (2019) (as at the date of this Determination).

(2) The rental subsidy shall be payable to GROH for the benefit of the office holders and is to be calculated using the Department of Communities on-line rent calculator which can be accessed at:

http://www.housing.wa.gov.au/currenttenants/governmentemployeehousing/rentcalculation/Pages/groh_rent_calc.aspx

(3) In the event the full rental cost is more than the rental subsidy, the difference is to be borne by the office holder. However, departments or agencies can apply to the Employing Authority for approval for the difference to be borne by the department or agency.

(4) Applicable FBT shall be paid by the office holder's department or agency.

Table 9: Rental Subsidies

5.2 Home ownership subsidies

(1) Office holders identified in this section shall be entitled to applicable Government home loan subsidies which are aligned generally to the Department of Communities' Home Ownership Subsidy Scheme and Tenants Purchasing a GROH Dwelling Policy (January 2020).

(2) The home ownership subsidy shall be payable for the benefit of the office holder up to the maximum specified in Table 10 below.

(3) The subsidy shall be paid in accordance with and for the period specified in the relevant Home Loan Subsidy Agreement between the office holder and their department or agency identified in Table 10 below.

5.3 Electricity subsidies

(1) Office holders listed in this Section shall be entitled to claim electricity subsidies as specified in Table 11 below.

(2) Claims made under this Section must be accompanied by a tax invoice for electricity utilised at the residence ordinarily occupied by the office holder within the relevant Development Commission region where the office holder's department or agency is located.

(3) A claim for an electricity subsidy made under this Section must be submitted within 90 days of the due payment date of the tax invoice. In the case of exceptional circumstances, the administering authority may approve an extension of time to submit a claim. Any application made to the administering authority seeking an extension of time to submit a claim under this Section, should be in writing and explain the exceptional circumstances leading to the need for extra time to submit a claim. Exceptional circumstances, for which an extension will be approved, will only be where the office holder has demonstrated that the claim submission has been delayed for reasons outside the office holder's control or in circumstances where ill health or bereavement has prevented a claim being made on time. Where delays in submitting a claim have been due to administrative oversight or negligence, the Tribunal does not regard these as circumstances appropriate to grant an extension of time to submit a claim. Where a claim is made after 90 days and no extension has been granted, payment against the claim will not be made.

(4) Applicable FBT shall be paid by the office holder's department or agency.

(5) Any gap between the electricity subsidy as stated in Table 11 and the full electricity amounts is payable by the office holder.

(2) Superannuation contributions to the Gold State Super scheme are based on the concept of remuneration set out in Regulation 5 of the State Superannuation Regulations 2001.
