Special Division and Prescribed Office Holders No 1 of 2019
Determination of the salaries and allowances tribunal for clerks and deputy clerks of the parliament, public service office holders included in the special division of the public service and persons holding offices prescribed in salaries and allowances regulation number 3.
Determination of The Salaries And Allowances Tribunal
Signed on 2 July 2019.
Updated on 29 July 2020 to reflect the latest variations to the 2019 determination - including appointments to the Special Division of the WA Public Service and Prescribed Offices.
M Seares AO - CHAIR
B A Sargeant PSM - MEMBER
C Murphy PSM - MEMBER
In accordance with the Salaries and Allowances Act 1975 ("the Act"), the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal sets the remuneration to be paid or provided to –
the Clerk of the Legislative Council or Clerk of the Legislative Assembly or the Deputy Clerk of either House (section 6(1)(c));
officers of the Public Service holding offices including in the Special Division of the Public Service (section 6(1)(d)); and
a person holding any other office of a full-time nature, created or established under a law of the State, that is prescribed for the purposes of this section, but not being an office the remuneration for which is determined by or under any industrial award or agreement made or in force under any other law of the State (section 6(1)(e)).
This determination is subject to the restrictive provisions of the Salaries and Allowances (Debt and Deficit Remediation) Act 2018, which commenced in February 2018 and prevents the Tribunal, until July 2021, from increasing remuneration provided for the offices listed above.
While the Tribunal cannot determine general remuneration increases at this time, section 10D(8) allows reclassification of Special Division offices following changes in work value.
This determination consolidates numerous variations since the Tribunal's last major determination, issued on 25 June 2018.
While the Tribunal is prevented from determining general remuneration increases, it may consider reclassification of offices following changes in work value. It is generally assumed that office holders will meet the challenges of changing roles and responsibilities arising from policy initiatives, changing priorities and the demands of the community. For reclassification to be warranted, work value changes must be significant and sustained, and clearly impact on the character of the office.
This determination confirms the reclassification of one position: the Deputy Director General Public Schools, at the Department of Education. The Tribunal considered reclassification was justified in this case following external assessments of work value that indicated significant and sustained changes to the office.
In accordance with current statutory restrictions, this determination provides no general increase in remuneration for offices identified in sections 6(1)(c), (d) and (e) of the Act.
Part 1 Introductory Matters
This Determination may be cited as the Special Division, Prescribed Office Holders and Clerks of the Parliament Determination No. 1 of 2019.

Pursuant to the Salaries and Allowances Act 1975 ('the Act') this determination provides for the salary, allowances and other benefits to be paid, provided or reimbursed to:

1.4 References to Dates
In this Determination, a reference to "a year" or "per annum" relates to a financial year.
Where benefits or entitlements are provided with specific reference to "a financial year", these cease on and from 30 June each year and, unless otherwise specified in this Determination, no unexpended amount can be carried over to later financial years.
1.5 Terms used
In this Determination, unless the contrary intention appears:
remuneration means salary, allowances, fees, emoluments and benefits (whether in money or not);
salary means the portion of remuneration which is paid as money;
Special Division officer means the holder of an office which has been included in the Special Division of the Public Service pursuant to section 38 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994 and for the purposes of section 6(1)(d) of the Act;
Prescribed Officer means the holder of an office which has been created or established under a law of the State, that is prescribed for the purposes of section 6(1)(e) of the Act.
Tribunal means the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal.
1.6 Conditions of service
Unless the conditions of service of a Special Division officer or Prescribed Officer are determined pursuant to a law of the State other than the Act, the conditions of service specified in this determination will apply.
To the extent that terms and conditions of employment affect remuneration (e.g. paid leave), office holders listed in this Schedule are entitled to the same terms and conditions as contained in the Public Service Award 1992 as at the date of this determination and the Public Service and Government Officers General Agreement 2017.

Part 2 Classification Framework for Special Division Offices
This Part deals with the classification framework applicable to Special Division offices listed in Part 1 of this Schedule.
Special Division offices listed in this Schedule have been assigned by the Tribunal to one of four classifications designated Band 1 to Band 4.
Each classification (Band 1 to Band 4) has a commensurate annual salary as specified in this Section. The salary is exclusive of other benefits described further below in Parts 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) have been designated a higher salary range within each Band in recognition of the distinction between CEOs with end of line responsibility and non-CEOs in subordinate positions.
The Tribunal will review the classification of an office when that office becomes vacant and prior to a new appointment being made.
Table 4: Annual salary range for the classification of Chief Executive Officers in the Special Division of the Public Service

Band 2 $281,140 $330,938
Band 3 $227,819 $281,140
Band 4 $190,776 $227,819
Part 3 Motor Vehicle Benefits
This Part deals with the motor vehicle benefits paid or provided to Office holders listed in Part 1 of this Schedule.
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.
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 – Agency General Agreement".
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.
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.

Notional valueof the lease
Below $246,397 p.a. $20,300 p.a.
Equal to or above $246,397 p.a. $22,650 p.a.
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. Four wheel drive vehicles shall be of a standard, the cost of which does not exceed the Toyota Prado GXL Automatic 3.0 litre Turbo Diesel.
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 values in Table 6, then the reasonable additional cost may be approved by the office holder's employing authority.
Where the total lease and associated costs of a vehicle and accessories 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.
The notional value of the vehicle benefit must include the lease cost, Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and all other operating costs based on the relevant figure of nominated kilometres to be travelled annually. The formula to be adopted in valuing the motor vehicle is outlined in Table 7
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

3.4 Cash value of the motor vehicle benefit
Where a person elects not to be provided with a motor vehicle through State Fleet he/she is entitled to the cash value being paid fortnightly as additional remuneration. The relevant cash value is to be determined in accordance with the following criteria.
Table 8: Cash Value of a Motor Vehicle
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
This Part deals with the district and travel allowances paid or provided to Office holders listed in this Part.
4.1 District Allowances

Applicable FBT shall be payable by the relevant department or agency.
For the purposes of calculating the standard rate, dependant rate or partial dependant rate applicable under the District Allowance (Government Officers) General Agreement 2010 the standard rates set out in Table 9 below shall form the basis of the calculations unless and until determined otherwise by the Tribunal.

Part 5 Housing and Utilities
This Part deals with the housing and utilities subsidies paid or provided to Office holders listed in this Part.
5.1 Rental Subsidies
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 Housing Tenant Rent Setting Framework Policy (July 2016) (as at the date of this determination).
The rental subsidy shall be payable to GROH for the benefit of the office holders and is to be calculated using the Department of Housing on-line rent calculator.
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.
Applicable FBT shall be paid by the office holder's department or agency.
Table 11: Rental Subsidies
Director Mid West Development Commission G Treasure
5.2 Home ownership subsidies
Office holders identified in this section shall be entitled to applicable Government home loan subsidies which are aligned generally to the Department of Housing's Home Ownership Subsidy Scheme for Government Employees in Regional Western Australia (November 2001).
The home ownership subsidy shall be payable for the benefit of the office holder up to the maximum specified in Table 12 below.
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 12 below.

5.3 Electricity subsidies
Office holders listed in this Section shall be entitled to claim electricity subsidies as specified in Table 13 below.
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.
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.
Any gap between the electricity subsidy as stated in Table 13 and the full electricity amounts is payable by the office holder.

Part 6 Superannuation Entitlements
This Part deals with the superannuation entitlements paid or provided to Office holders listed in Part 1 of this Schedule.
Employer superannuation contributions are payable in accordance with the obligations applicable under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Cth), the State Superannuation Act 2000 and the State Superannuation Regulations 2001 or the Fire and Emergency Services Regulations 1986, as the case may be, unless determined otherwise in this Schedule.
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. Contributions to an accumulation scheme, whether a GESB accumulation scheme or a scheme of choice, are determined by the concept of Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE) defined in the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Cth) and 'over OTE items' as defined in the State Superannuation Regulations 2001. The Department of Treasury document titled Ordinary Time Earnings and the Treatment of Allowances and Payments for Superannuation Remuneration Purposes – General Principles provides useful guidance on this matter. The document can be found on the Department of Treasury web site at:http://www.treasury.wa.gov.au/cms/uploadedFiles/_Treasury/State_finances/ote_treatment_allowances_payments_superannuation_remuneration_general_principles.pdf?n=1655
Superannuation contributions to the Fire and Emergency Services Superannuation Fund are governed by the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Cth) and the Fire and Emergency Services Regulations 1986.
The position of CEO, Metropolitan Cemeteries Board, while held by Mr P Deague, shall be paid superannuation in accordance with the WA Local Government Superannuation Plan.
