2011 APS Remuneration Report

1. Background

The 2011 APS Remuneration Report (the Report) provides remuneration information about Australian Public Service (APS) employees including Base Salary and other remuneration related benefits and payments in the 2011 calendar year. The Report is an annual snapshot of remuneration across the whole APS on 31 December each year. It provides information on remuneration by classification level as well as changes in remuneration compared to the previous year.

The Report provides APS agencies with: comparisons with the 2010 APS Remuneration Survey; the ranges of remuneration paid, by classification level across the

APS; detail on the key components of remuneration packages; and a total APS remuneration picture.

The 2011 Report provides a combined report on both the APS non-Senior Executive Service (SES) and SES workforce rather than two separate reports as has occurred in previous years. Unlike previous years, a market comparison report has not been undertaken.

Remuneration arrangements across the APS have been established through agency-based bargaining since 1997. Over the last 15 years, as the result of the move away from centralised salary setting, variation in remuneration outcomes across agencies has occurred.

Between 2001 and 2010, the annual APS Remuneration Survey was undertaken by an external consultant. From 2010 it was mandated that all APS agencies participate. In 2011 the Report was produced by the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC).

With the APSC undertaking the 2011 APS Remuneration Report, there are some differences in how data has been treated compared with previous surveys, for example, the 2011 Report is a census. Further detail of the methodology and changes in data collection at Appendix A.1.

When considering the Report data, the large agencies have a significant impact on the data. The Department of Human Services, the Australian Taxation Office and the Department of Defence make up approximately 51% of the APS workforce and will be influential on median figures.

At 31 December 2011, 105 agencies made up the APS and provided remuneration data for 2,695 SES employees and 154,277 non-SES employees.

2011 APS context

In January 2011, the Australian Government Employment Bargaining Framework was replaced by the Australian Public Service Bargaining Framework (APSBF) for APS agencies. The APSBF provided 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%. Where agencies seek to establish an AAWI above 3%, 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 2011 calendar year saw the expiration of the majority of APS enterprise agreements, with most reaching their nominal expiry date on 30

June 2011. Employees of 15 agencies, representing 16% of the APS workforce, did not receive a general pay rise in 2011. This may contribute to a slightly lower median Base Salary increase than what would have normally occurred.

Other wage information

The Australian Bureau of Statistics publishes the Labour Price Index1 (LPI) which broadly measures annual changes in the price of labour in the Australian labour market. This is based on total hourly rates. The LPI for December 2010 to December 2011 increased 3.7% for all sectors: 3.2% for the public sector and 3.8% in the private sector (series 6345.0). Note the public sector includes States and Territories as well as Commonwealth public servants.

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Trends in Federal Enterprise Bargaining Quarterly Reports2 provides average annualised wage increases (AAWIs) per employee. The September Quarter 2011 Report shows a 0.4% reduction in AAWI in all sectors from June to September 2011. The public sector AAWI increase for new agreements was 3.5% down from 3.9% in the previous quarter.

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.

2 Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, Trends in Federal Enterprise Bargaining September Quarter 2011, viewed 27 April 2012, <http//deewr.gov.au/workplacerelations>

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

In the Australian Public Service (APS), the overall median Base Salary movement for all APS employees from 2010 to 2011 was 2.5%.

From 2010 to 2011 the median Base Salary for non-Senior Executive Service (SES) classifications increased by 2.4% while the median Base Salary for SES classifications increased by 4.1%.

There is a minor trend in the SES classifications to roll benefits and bonuses into Base Salary. This has resulted in an increase in median Base Salary of 4.1% which is greater than the increase in median Total Remuneration Package: 3.3%, and median Total Reward: 3.1%. This is discussed further in Section 6.

There has been a reduction in the use of performance bonuses with the proportion of SES employees who received a performance bonus down from 2010.

Only 6.4% of APS employees were members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme with approximately 30% of them aged 55 years or over. These members represent a significant proportion of the SES workforce: 29% at the SES 1 level, 40% at the SES 2 level and 48% at the SES 3 level.

The APS 1 classification showed no change in median Base Salary, a slight reduction in median Total Remuneration Package, and a small increase in median Total Reward. The significant contributor to this outcome is the increase in recruitment activity between 2010 and 2011 at this level, resulting in a high proportion of the workforce receiving commencement salaries, at or near the bottom of the APS 1 salary range.

Women’s median Base Salary, as a proportion of men’s Base Salary is at or over 100% across all classification levels with the exception of the SES 1 (99.9%).

The last two years have seen the lowest increases in whole-of-APS remuneration since the data collection and analysis was first undertaken. Median Base Salary increased 3.8% in 2010 and 2.5% in 2011, and median Total Reward increased 3.6% in 2010 and 3.0% in 2011. Detail is at Tables 6.2 and 6.3.

2. Key remuneration components

To gain the best picture of APS remuneration, all elements of the key remuneration components need to be considered. The Total Reward data at Table 2.4 provides the most complete overall remuneration information, with Base Salary and Total Remuneration Packages as component parts.

2.1 Base Salary

The term Base 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.

The median Base Salary movement for all APS classifications from 2010 to 2011 was 2.5%.

The non-SES classifications median Base Salary increased by 2.4% and SES classifications median Base Salary increased by 4.1% from 2010 to 2011.

The greatest increase in median Base Salary was at the SES 3 classification with a 4.4% increase. However, when this is considered together with Table 2.4 where a median Total Reward increase of 2.4% at the SES 3 classification is shown, it demonstrates a change in how remuneration is being packaged. From 2010 to 2011 there has been a rolling in of a proportion of bonuses and allowances into Base Salary at this level, hence the increase. This trend became apparent in 2009—see Section 6 Historical Data.

The SES 2 classification demonstrates a similar trend to the SES 3 with an increased median Base Salary of 4.3%, but with a lesser increase of 3.3% in the median Total Reward.

The APS 1 classification median Base Salary remained unchanged from 2010 to 2011. This is a reflection of an increase in the number of engagements at this level. A low level of recruitment of APS 1 employees occurred in 2010 compared with 2011. This has resulted in over 50% of the current APS 1 workforce commencing in 2011. As it is standard practice to commence employees at, or near, the bottom of a salary range, the median salary has been heavily influenced by employees on the bottom of the salary range.

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.73), shift and overtime payments.

The average movement in median TRP across all classifications from 2010 to 2011 was 2.8%.

The non-SES classifications median TRP increased by 2.7%, and SES classifications median TRP increased by 3.3%.

Graduates saw the greatest increase in median TRP with a 4.0% increase from 2010. The key contributor was the increase in median Base Salary of 4.0%. Excluding superannuation, benefits were not a feature of the Graduate remuneration package in 2010 and 2011. The second greatest increase of 3.7% was recorded at the SES 2 classification.

APS 1s saw a reduction in the median TRP of -0.2%. This is a reflection of a reduction in the median agency superannuation contribution from $6,398 in 2010 to $6,274 in 2011, as the result of the change in the workforce profile, see explanation at Section 2.1: Base Salary.

Total Remuneration Package movements by agency

Table 2.3 provides information on the median movement of the Total Remuneration Package (TRP) at each classification level by agency. TRP movement 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 2010 and 2011. As a result, the number of agencies for each classification level will vary.

The agency TRP median movement from 2010 to 2011 demonstrates that it remained below 4% for the majority of agencies at all classifications.

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. This occurs when differing pay increases are applied to different points in a classification, or to different classification levels. This could result in a top pay point getting a higher pay rise than a lower pay point, with the lower increase used as an offset for the higher pay point outcome.

It could also result in additional pay points at the top of the range expanding the salary range. In agencies with a significant number of employees at the top of their salary range, a differential pay outcome would contribute to shifting the median for that classification up to values greater than what would have resulted from a standard across-the-board pay increase.

Workforce turnover will also be a factor affecting this outcome. The number of promotions and engagements will influence the outcome of median TRP by classification. New engagements and promotions tend to result in employees being paid at the lower end of their classification salary range, so a high level of recruitment activity may result in a drop in an agency median. Conversely, a stable workforce with minimal numbers of new engagements will result in existing employees progressing to the higher end of their salary span with a resultant increase in median TRP.

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 2011 ranged from $665 at the APS 1 classification to $13,187 at the SES 2 classification.

The overall movement in median Total Reward across all classifications from 2010 to 2011 was 3.0%.

From 2010 to 2011, the non-SES median Total Reward increased by 3.0%, and SES median Total Reward increased by 3.1%.

Consistent with TRP, the Graduate classification saw the greatest increase in median Total Reward with an increase of 4.0% from 2010. Bonuses were a minimal component of remuneration at the Graduate classification in 2010 and 2011 and hence the result is a reflection of the increase in median Base Salary (see explanation at Section 2.2: Total Remuneration Package).

EL 2s showed the second highest increase in Total Reward with an increase of 3.6%. Motor vehicle allowances were the major factor in the increase in Total Remuneration Package and hence Total Reward.

For APS 1s there was an increase of 0.3% in Total Reward from 2010 to 2011. The shift from a median TRP movement of -0.2% to a TR movement of 0.3% appears to be due to an increase in median bonus payments such as productivity and sign on bonuses.

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.

At non-SES classifications, the largest component of remuneration apart from Base Salary is the employer superannuation contribution. Across all levels, the Base Salary makes up between 85% and 87% of the remuneration received by employees. The TRP component makes up between 13% at the APS 4 classification and 14.4% at the EL 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 20% at the SES 3 classification to 24% at the SES 1 classification. The benefits component is primarily composed of the employer superannuation contribution and motor vehicle benefits.

Bonuses are only a minor component of the whole remuneration package. Bonuses only contribute to between 1.2–1.5% of all remuneration received in the SES classifications and up to 0.8% 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 cost of motor vehicle is the annualised total cost of a motor vehicle for which the employee was able to use for private use (include provision, running costs, insurance, repairs, maintenance, and any FBT payable). Cash-in-lieu of a motor 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.

As expected, the use of motor vehicle allowances or cash in lieu of motor vehicle allowances was low in the non-SES classifications. The highest use of motor vehicle allowances at these classifications was the EL 2 level with 2.4% of employees receiving the benefit; all other classifications were at or below 0.2%.

There was a very small proportion of APS 3 to APS 6 employees who received a motor vehicle benefit in 2011. These employees tend to work with out-reach programs requiring a significant amount of driving from site to site on a daily basis to enable them to undertake their duties. These vehicles are available for private use and hence this data is included.

The 2010 APS Non-SES Remuneration Survey only provided non-SES specific motor vehicle allowances data for the EL 1 and EL 2 classifications. It reported that less than 0.5% of EL 1 employees and approximately 1% of EL 2 employees received motor vehicle payments. The 2011 data shows a low level of use of these allowances at the EL 1 level, 0.2%, and an increased use at the EL 2 level to 2.4%.

There has been a reduction in the median amount paid for motor vehicle benefits in 2011 from 2010 at the EL 1 level from $25,802 to $19,159 and a smaller reduction at the EL 2 level from $24,000 in 2010 to $22,856 in 2011.

At the SES classifications, the proportion of employees who received a vehicle benefit had increased slightly. It is likely that due to a change in collection methodology and potentially an increase in the reporting by agencies compared with the previous year.

As 80% of SES employees received some form of motor vehicle related allowance, it is still a well used remuneration benefit.

3.3 Performance bonus

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

There were 18,506 employees (12.0%) of the non-SES workforce, and 822 (30.5%) of the SES workforce who received a performance bonus in 2011.

The proportion of employees who received performance bonuses varied across classification levels from 0.3% to 31.6%. The Graduate classification had the lowest proportionate use which reflects the development nature of graduate programs. The SES classifications had the highest percentage application of performance bonuses.

Compared to the 2010 Remuneration Survey, there has been little change in the median performance bonus paid from 2010 to 2011 across the

non-SES classification levels. This is influenced by the performance bonus provisions applied in 2010 predominantly being the same as those applying for the performance period in 2011; that is, the same enterprise agreement provisions applying across both reporting periods. It is unlikely that new enterprise agreements that came into effect in 2011 would have had a significant influence on 2011 figures.

Due to the low proportion of performance bonuses at the non-SES classifications, the figures at the non-SES classification levels 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 classification, and an enterprise agreement that provides for a $665 or 1% of Base Salary performance bonus for employees receiving a fully effective or higher performance rating. This agency also employs a significant proportion of the APS 2 workforce.

There has been a reduction in the proportion of SES employees who received a performance bonus when compared to the 2010 Survey findings (see Table 3.3). The 2011 results show an increase in both the median and average size of the bonuses paid compared with 2010.

3.4 Superannuation

The median employer superannuation contribution for Graduate to EL 2 classifications in 2011 was between 15.4 and 15.6%.

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 Australia Government Employees Superannuation Trust

(AGEST) and ‘Other’.

As the CSS and PSS closed to new members in 1990 and 2006 respectively, there was 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 81,952 APS employees, or 52% of the APS workforce, in the PSS and 56,399 employees, or 36% of the workforce, in the PSSap.

Only 6.4% of APS employees were members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme with approximately 30% of them aged 55 years or over. These members represent a significant proportion of the SES workforce: 29% at the SES 1 level, 40% at the SES 2 level and 48% of the SES 3 level.

Where no superannuation contribution was made to an employee, this may be due to either the employee being over 70 years of age, or the employee having reached their maximum benefit limit.

A high superannuation contribution can be the result of a higher salary for superannuation purposes than their Base Salary. It may also be due to an employee performing higher duties for more than 12 months at the time their salary for superannuation was calculated. As noted in Table 4.2, the number of levels of higher duties that an employee may perform can be significant. This may have a noticeable effect on the superannuation contribution in a small number of cases.

There has been a small decrease in the employer superannuation contribution as a proportion of Base Salary at the SES 2 and 3 levels compared with 2010, as seen in Table 3.7.

4. Payments in addition to key remuneration components

The following section provides information on payments that are not included in Base Salary, TRP or Total Reward. They are in addition to the key remuneration components and reflect situations outside the standard parameters. This includes taking on higher or additional duties through to payments specific for geographical locations and particular hardship.

4.1 Higher duties

The data on higher duties payments is a snapshot of employees on duties at a higher classification group for a consecutive period of 90 days or more as at 31 December 2011. That is, the employee had been performing higher duties since at least 3 October 2011.

Higher duties payments have not been included in any of the key remuneration component reporting. Partial performance is included in the additional duties/responsibilities figures. Note that higher duties may be performed with payment for shorter periods, but this information was not collected.

There were 12,368 employees, or 8% of the workforce, reported to be in receipt of a higher duties payment and had been performing the higher duties for 3 months or more.

The amounts shown in Table 4.1 are annualised values, based on amounts paid to employees in the reporting period for taking on the duties at the higher classification. The minimum payment at the SES 1 level is the result of an EL 2 employee taking on SES 1 duties, where there was little difference between the EL 2 remuneration package and the SES 1 salary. Note: in some enterprise agreements, specialist classifications in Group 8 (EL 2 and equivalents) attract a salary that overlaps the SES 1 salary range.

Table 4.2 shows the number of APS employees who were performing higher duties by the acting level and their substantive classification. Of note is the number of levels that employees are performing on an acting basis, for example up to 5 levels at the EL 1 classification.

The higher duties payment recorded in Table 4.1 is the pay point at the higher classification minus the pay point of the employee’s base level.

This table includes data on employees acting more than one classification above their base classification (for further detail see Table 4.2).

4.2 Geographic/locality allowance

In previous surveys, some allowances captured in the geographic/locality descriptions were reported under ‘allowances’ in the ‘Total Reward Plus Allowances’ section, whereas some others were not reported on at all, for example disturbance or cost of living allowances.

For 2011, the Report provides data for a cluster of allowances variously described across agency enterprise agreements but relating to a particular locality or geographical region. Examples include: disturbance allowance, district allowance, remote localities assistance and overseas allowances. It excludes disability related allowances such as location-specific hardship allowances: see Section 4.3.

Only 6% of APS employees received a geographic or locality allowance; 7% of the SES workforce and 6% of the non-SES workforce.

From Table 4.3 the classifications with the highest proportion of employees receiving a geographic/locality allowance in 2011 were the APS 3, Graduates and SES 3 classifications. The EL 1 and EL 2 classifications had the lowest proportion of employees in receipt of geographic/locality allowances.

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

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 Australian 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, southern ocean operations training and working conditions allowances.

Table 4.4 shows non-SES have lower proportions of employees in receipt of disability allowances compared to SES. The proportion of Non-SES ranged from 1.0% for APS 1 to a high of 4.6% for APS 5. In contrast, the SES ranged from 5.1% of SES 1 to 9.0% of SES 3.

The maximum allowances paid at the EL 1 and SES levels were paid to APS employees working in hardship locations including overseas.

The Graduate level received the lowest median disability allowance of $74. The greatest median disability allowance of $46,439 was at the SES 1 classification.

4.4 Additional duties/responsibilities allowance

The additional duties/responsibility allowances have not been reported on in previous remuneration surveys. These allowances include, but are not limited to, First Aid Officer, Fire Warden, Departmental Liaison Officer and Workplace Health & Safety Officer allowances.

Also included in Table 4.5 are partial performance payments. Partial performance, at a higher level, may be recognised where some, but not all, of the duties of a position at a higher classification are undertaken by an employee. Higher duties data is reported at Section 4.1.

The classifications which tend to have additional duties that attract an allowance are the APS 3 to APS 6 levels. The non-SES classifications with the lowest proportion of employees having additional duties allowance were the Graduate and APS 1 levels.

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

The median amounts were consistent across all non-SES classifications. This may be a reflection of enterprise agreement provisions providing allowances of similar values for the additional duties, regardless of classification level, under enterprise agreements arrangements. 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 allowance amount compared to Departmental Liaison Officer duties, but are far more numerous and hence represent the values in Q1, Median, and Q3 in Table 4.5.

5. Additional information

The following section provides greater detail on a range of payments including motor vehicle related payments, performance bonuses, geographic and locality allowance and additional duties allowances.

5.1 Employment instrument

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

enterprise agreements (EA); Australian Workplace Agreements (AWA); Public Service Act Determinations (s24(1) and (3)) (PSA); and common law arrangements (CLA).

A secondary employment instrument, an individual flexibility arrangement (IFA), may be used to vary terms and conditions of the 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, PSAs and CLAs. At these levels, there is a greater use of IFAs than AWAs, PSAs and CLAs combined. IFAs were in place for 2678 employees in 2011, and were used most commonly at the EL 2 level: 1449 or 11.1% of EL 2 employees that are covered by an enterprise agreement.

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

For non-SES, PSAs tended to deliver a lower median Base Salary compared to other employment instruments. Note that PSAs cover a small population and collective determinations are used as a short-term interim instrument during periods of structural change, such as machinery of government changes. At the non-SES classifications, the CLAs provided the highest median salary outcomes, but like AWAs, there was a very small population of the workforce using CLAs.

At the SES 1 and SES 2 classifications CLAs delivered a slightly higher median Base Salary compared with other primary instruments while PSAs delivering the highest median Base Salary at the SES 3 classification by a small margin. This is shown in Table 5.3.

5.2 Remuneration data by sex

This section provides information on the key remuneration components based on sex by classification. Reporting on this dimension commenced in 2008 and the 2011 Report has continued this time series.

Women’s median Base Salary, as a proportion of men’s Base Salary was at or over 100% across all classification levels with the exception of the SES 1 (99.9%).

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

5.3 Employment category

APS employees may be engaged on either an ongoing or non-ongoing basis. Table 5.8 provides the detail on Base Salary by employment category and classification. Note, non-ongoing casual employees have been excluded.

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

The APS 1 shows that 45% of employees at that classification level are ongoing. This was the sole level where non-ongoing employees outnumber ongoing employees. The APS 2 classification with 14% had the second highest proportion of non-ongoing employees.

With regard to median Base Salary, employees engaged on an ongoing basis tended to have a higher median Base Salary with the exception at the Graduate, SES 2 and SES 3 classifications. Note that for these three classifications, the proportion of non-ongoing employees is small.

As engagement on a non-ongoing basis is time limited, there is not the same time available to move up salary spans for this category of employees. Hence the trend for employees engaged on an ongoing basis to have a higher median Base Salary than employees on a non-ongoing basis was not unexpected.

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 2002; and percentage change in median Total Reward by classification since

2002.

When considering the historical data, changes in methodology over the 10 year period needs to be taken into account. Prior to 2010 when all APS 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 different years.

There has been a significant increase in sample size from between 22,000 to 29,200 records in the years prior to 2009, to 120,000 records in 2009. The 2011 Report has moved from a sample methodology to a census. That is, all 156,972 relevant records submitted for the 2011 Report have been used.

Over the last decade, median base salaries have consistently increased. The greatest increase in median base salaries was reported in 2009 with increases of 6.4% at the non-SES classifications to 6.2% at the SES and an overall increase of 6.4%. The smallest increase in median base salaries was in 2011 with increases of 2.4% at the non-SES classifications and 4.1% at the SES and a 2.5% overall increase.

The greatest increase in median Total Reward was recorded in 2003 with increases of 6.5% at the non-SES classifications and 10.2% at the SES. Please note that a warning was issued in the 2003 APS SES Remuneration Survey regarding comparing the results between 2002 and 2003 due to a change in the treatment of motor vehicle allowance reporting between these two years.

Consistent with median Base Salaries, the smallest year-to-year increase in median Total Reward was in 2011 with increases of 3.0% at the non-SES classifications and 3.1% at the SES. Prior to 2011, 2010 had reported the smallest recorded increases in Total Reward. This demonstrates two consecutive years of relatively low remuneration growth.

As noted in Section 2.1 there has been a rolling-in of a proportion of benefits and bonuses into Base Salary. This is illustrated by comparing Figures 6.3 and 6.4 where the line indication SES change in Base Salary is above 4% since 2009 but growth in Total Reward is below 3%.

Both figures show all classification groups trending towards 3% in 2011. If this trend continues, there will be a flat-line at 3% from 2011 to 2012.

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 2011. Although it was collected, data on casuals (non-ongoing employed for duties that are irregular or intermittent), trainees and cadets are excluded from the findings in this report. Unless noted in the tables, ongoing and non-ongoing employees are grouped together.

To inform agencies of requirements and changes to the 2011 Remuneration Report, information sessions were conducted in mid-November in Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne. This provided agencies the opportunity to ask questions before the data was collected.

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.

With the APSC now undertaking the 2011 report, rather than a private contractor, there are differences in methodology in some areas—historical data in this report may not match those of past reports. The following points should be considered when comparing previous years’ reports.

Compared to previous reports, the 2011 report:- does not weight the population i.e. data relating to every employee

was included in the overall data set.- splits allowances and bonuses into more detailed types.- calculates motor vehicle costs differently.- weights average change by population when grouping

classifications.

This report covers most staff employed under s22(a), s22(b) and s72 of the Public Service Act 1999 as at 31 December 2011—employees on leave without pay (LWOP) are excluded. This report excludes Locally Engaged Employees under the PS Act s74, Agency Heads, and office holders whose remuneration is set by the Remuneration Tribunal. Casuals employed under the PS Act s22(c) were included in the data collection, but they are excluded from the results shown in this report.

Due to the exclusions noted above, 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 2011 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.

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 fall below and 50% of values fall above.

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

Q3The third quartile (Q3) is the point for which 75% of values fall below and 25% of values fall 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 falls below and 95% of values fall 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 falls below and 5% of values fall 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

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 + Superannuation allowances + 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, 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%.
