Question NW3021 to the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services
30 October 2017 - NW3021
Groenewald, Mr HB to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services
(1) What is the (a) total amount that was paid out in bonuses to employees in his department and (b) detailed breakdown of the bonus that was paid out to each employee in each salary level in the 2016-17 financial year; (2) what is the (a) total estimated amount that will be paid out in bonuses to employees in his department and (b) detailed breakdown of the bonus that will be paid out to each employee in each salary level in the 2017-18 financial year?
Reply:
I have been informed by the Department as follows:
1. No bonuses have been paid out so far as the Department is at the last stage of finalising the payment of performance bonuses for the 2016-17 financial year.
2. The estimated amount and detailed breakdown of bonus payments is unknown at this stage because the first bi-annual performance review documents in respect of each employee for the 2017/18 financial year was submitted on 13 October 2017, and the annual appraisal documentation to conclude the performance cycle of 2017/18 will be submitted in April 2018. Accordingly, the Department will not know who will qualify for what until the end of the cycle when the Performance Moderating Committees will convene to moderate the performance of employees.
Approved/Not Approved
