2. The reason why the KwaZulu Natal Department of Health is paying the Chief Director: IDMTS on salary level 16 is because an offer of employment was made to him, by the Development Bank of South Africa, on a salary package which fell within salary level 16 in the Public Service. In order to retain his services, a counter-offer was made by the department on the nearest higher salary package compared to the offer received.
The Chief Director in the Gauteng Department of Economic Development, paid on salary level 16, was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site and Dinokeng Projects on 1 January 2022. This was done in accordance with the approved organisational and salary structure below:
3. The appointments of heads of departments on salary level 15 and others on salary level 16 is based on the service delivery model of the departments. Furthermore, the size of the departments is also taken into consideration, including client group, geographical distribution and the availability of funds within the Department. As a result, the upgrading of the Head of the Department leads to the upgrading of the lower level posts including the performer level and such leads to an increase in the compensation of employees (CoE), hence the discrepancies of salary levels.
4. This information resides with the Department of Basic Education and will be submitted to the Honourable Member as soon it is available.
