Reply:
(1) (a) An amount of R 3,262 000.00 was paid out in bonuses to employees in 2016-17 financial year.
(1) (b) The detailed information about a salary package of an employee is based on an employer- employee confidential information relationship. We can however refer the members to our Annual Report of 2016 2017 wherein the broad breakdown is provided and that information was subjected to an external audit process.
(2) The Public Service Regulations stipulates that a department may pay not more than 1, 5% of its pay roll. GCIS uses that as a guide in projecting its anticipated bonus payment and based on signed Performance Agreement Operational Plans of each employee.
