QUESTION NUMBER 1726

DATE OF PUBLICATION: 10 OCTOBER 2008

PROF B TUROK (ANC) TO ASK THE MINISTER OF FINANCE:

(1) What is the basis for the definition of the term "employed", used in the Quarterly Labour Force Survey for 28 August 2008 issued by Statistics SA, which refers to "persons aged 15-64 years who, during the reference week, did any work for at least one hour";

(2) whether the government's employment figures include such persons; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so,

(3) whether this gives an accurate figure for the employment levels in our economy; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details? NW2507E

REPLY:

(1) To decide on who is employed, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) recommends that the activities within the production boundary of the United Nations Systems of National Accounts be used. This system defines what activities are considered as economic. Anybody involved in these economic activities during the reference period is considered employed. The activities are defined below and elaborated through examples.

These activities include market and non-market activities. Market activities include production of goods and services supplied to other units intended for sale, barter, in-kind pay on the market. Non-market activities include mostly production of goods and services for own final use, e.g. subsistence farming, collecting wood or water for own final consumption. However for non-market activities to be included as employment they must make a significant contribution to household consumption.

In the old Labour Force Survey (LFS) both market activities and some non-market activities were considered employment. In the New Quarterly Labour Force Survey only market activities are considered to be employment. Non-market activities are not considered as employment in the new LFS because it was difficult to decide on what criteria would be used to establish if non-market activities made a significant contribution to household consumption.

On temporary absence, in the old LFS as long as people had a job or even an economic activity to return they would be classified as employed and in the new LFS it is only people who indicate that they have market activities that they will definitely go back to (excluding working unpaid in a household business) who are considered as employed.

Below is a table on how the employment question was asked in the old LFS and how it is asked in the new QLFS.

Table 1

LFS

QLFS

2.1

In the last seven days, did you do any of the following activities, even for only one hour?

2.4

In the last week,

a) Run or do any kind of business, big or small, for himself/herself or with one or more partners?

b) Do any work for a wage, salary, commission or any payment in kind (excl. domestic work)?

c) Do any work as a domestic worker for a wage, salary, or any payment in kind?

d) Help unpaid in a household business of any kind?

e) Do any work on his/her own or the household's plot, farm, food garden, cattle post or kraal, or help in growing farm produce or in looking after animals for the household?

f) Do any construction or major repair work on his/her own home, plot, cattle post or business or those of the household?

g) Catch any fish, prawns, shells, wild animals or other food for sale or household food?

(a) Did you work for a wage, salary, commission or any payment in kind (including domestic work), even for only one hour?

(b) Did you run or do any kind of business, big or small, for yourself or with one or more partners, even for only one hour?

( c)Did you help without being paid in any kind of business run by your household, even if it was for only one hour?

2.2

Even though …… did not do any of these activities in the last seven days, does he/she have a job, business, or other economic or farming activity that he/she will definitely return to?

2.5

In the last week, even though you did not do any work for pay, profit or helped unpaid in a household business, ….

(a) Did you have a paid job that you would definitely return to?

(b) Did you have a business that you

would definitely return to?

(c) Did you have an unpaid job in any kind of business run by your household that you would definitely return to?

In summary then in the old LFS employment comprised the following:

· Having worked at least for an hour in the last seven days in either market or non-market activities (question 2.1 in table 1 above).

· If a person had not done any of the activities listed in question 2.1 in the last seven days, then they are considered as employed only if they have a job, business or other economic or farming activity that they will definitely return to (question 2.2 in table 1 above).

In the new LFS employment comprises the following:

· Having worked for at least one hour in the previous week in market related activities (question 2.4 in table 1 above).

· If a person had not done any of the activities listed in question 2.4 in the previous week, then they are considered as employed only if they have a paid job or a business that they will definitely return to (question excludes unpaid household members even if they say they have a household business that they will definitely return to).

In the new LFS all those who were engaged only in non market activities in the previous week are taken through to questions on unemployment and inactivity and are not considered as employed. The question on non-market activities is asked in the following way (Table 2 below):

Table 2

Old

New

2.6

In the last week, ….

a1) Did you do any work on your own or the household's plot, farm, food garden, cattle post or kraal or help in growing farm produce or in looking after animals for the household's own consumption?

a2) If yes, for how many hours?

b1) Did you fetch water or collect wood/dung for household use?

b2) If yes, for how many hours?

c1) Did you produce any other goods for household use?

Examples: clothing, furniture, clay pots, etc.

c2) If yes, for how many hours?

d1) Did you do any construction or major repair work on your own home, plot, cattle post or business or those of the household?

d2) If yes, for how many hours?

e1) Did you catch any fish, prawns, shells, wild animals or other food for household consumption?

e2) If yes, for how many hours?

(2) We are not quite sure what this question is referring to but if it is about employment in government the response is given below.

Everyone who is employed in government irrespective of their terms of employment (permanent or contract) forms part of employment as defined above as long as they worked for at least an hour in the reference week and are aged from 15 to 64.

(3)Yes, the employment levels are accurate because the sample is representative.

Framework and (b) how will it be monitored?

ANSWER

(a) (i) The National Capacity Building Framework (2008 - 2011) was finalised and launched at the

Multilingualism and Capacity Building Conference held in Cape Town on 4-6 June 2008.

(ii) The NCBF Implementation Plan is being developed and should be finallsed by Dec 2008.

QUESTION NO: 1730

MR J SELFE (DA) TO ASK THE MINISTER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES

(1) Whether any errors occurred in the payment of overtime pay to employees of the department; if so, (a) how many employees were affected, (b) over what period were these errors made, (c) what was the total amount erroneously paid to employees, (d) who were responsible for these errors and (e) what action has been taken (i) to rectify the situation, (ii) against those responsible for the errors and (iii) to recover any money that might have been overpaid to employees;

(2) whether any employees paid tax at a higher marginal rate than they ought to as a result of any overpayment; if so, what steps have been taken to adjust such employees' tax rates? NW2514E

REPLY

(1) and (2) Overtime performed between 20:00 and 06:00 has since the implementation of the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC), Resolution 3 of 1999, been paid at double tariff until 30 June 2007 when PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2007 came into effect.

PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2007 stated that overtime performed on Sundays and Public Holidays shall be remunerated at double tariff and all other overtime shall be remunerated at 1,5 tariff.

No errors were identified in payment of overtime until June 2007. However, errors are expected to have occurred as a result of the implementation of PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2007 where officials were paid overtime performed between 20:00 and 06:00 at double tariff instead of 1.5 tariff.

Errors in overtime payments to officials cannot be confirmed at this stage due to the dispute regarding the interpretation of paragraph 9.1 of the PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2007 versus the payment of overtime between 20:00 and 06:00 in terms of PSCBC Resolution 3 of 1999.

The Department of Correctional Services will only be in position to confirm any errors in overtime payments once the dispute has been finalised.

QUESTION NO.: 1733

DATE OF PUBLICATION: 10 OCTOBER 2008

Mr E W Trent (DA) to ask the Minister for Public Enterprises:

(1) Whether the process that took place prior to the signing of the initial 1998 agreement between two companies (names furnished) met all the constitutional requirements of transparency, fairness and competitiveness; if not,

(2) whether any action was taken against the person or persons failing to comply with any legislation and/or regulations or directives regarding the alienation of land and buildings owned by one of the companies (name furnished); if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;

(3) whether the other company (name furnished) still exists; if not, why not; if so, who were the directors at the time when the 1998 agreement was signed? NW2517E

REPLY:

(1) No, it did not. The Public Finance Management Act was legislated but was not yet in operation when the latter agreement was finalised. It should be noted that this agreement was the result of a process dating back to 1998 within the context of the objective to give life to the economic development of the Eastern Cape. In particular, the potential for mixed use development of port land as recogised and encouraged by the Burggraaf Commission in 1980 and Parliamentary endorsement of the establishment of the port of Coega, were clear indicators as to the role that Transnet could play in the promotion of economic development in the Eastern Cape region.

The present management has investigated whether or not any action was taken against any persons who may have failed to comply with the requirement concerning obtaining Ministerial approval. Transnet's enquiry has not been able to reveal whether any steps were taken against such persons. It has, however, been noted that the employment contract with

the then Managing Director of Portnet (a division of Transnet Limited) was terminated with Transnet, by mutual agreement, in 1999.

(3) Tsogo Sun Ebhayi's Board of Directors according to letterheads reflecting the negotiations going back to 1996 list the following names: SM Tanana (Chairman), JA Mabuza (Chief Executive), AS Mabogoane, NF Magugu, MD Maivha, PT Motsepe, LF Smit and RI Stringfellow. Tsogo Sun Ebhayi later changed its name to Southernport Developments (Pty) Ltd.

1.2

The Minister of Transport:

(1) (a) and (b)

The coordination between the Department of Transport (DoT) and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) has functioned very well to date. The coordinating body was established in accordance with the LOC/FIFA guidelines on the 2010 transport serving concept. The DoT is fully represented in all the transport structures of the LOC, and the LOC is also represented in the departmental structures, which are the Transport Sector Coordinating Forum, Land Transport Task Team and the Aviation Sub-Sector Task Team.

(c) The Department of Transport has seconded Mr S Macozoma, who is a Chief Director for Integrated Infrastructure Network Development, Branch: Integrated Planning and Intersphere Coordination, to ensure that transport logistics are properly planned and delivered timeously. The incumbent has the requisite technical expertise and qualifications which formed the basis of such secondment to deal with transport infrastructure and logistics for the event.

(2) The official referred to above works closely with the 2010 World Cup Unit, which currently has a Director and three (3) Deputy Directors as incumbents. The recruitment process for the other Director position is in its final stages. The 2010 World Cup Unit is led by the acting Deputy Director-General, Branch Integrated Planning and Intersphere Coordination.

The 2010 World Cup preparations are not the responsibility of a single unit, but of all the Branches in the Department of Transport. The preparations are coordinated at senior level.

(3) A tender for Programme Management of the 2010 event was recently advertised and is currently being adjudicated.

(4) The Department of Transport's Management Services, which oversees the human resources and capacity development units, has been tasked with the development of a 2010 Skills Plan, which will be assessing the transport skills requirements of the event, both nationally and within Host Cities. It will also include an intervention plan to be implemented by the Department, TETA and the Host Cities. The plan will be presented at the next MINMEC scheduled to be held in November 2008.

(2) what transport role has been apportioned in percentage terms to (a) vehicle hire companies, (b) tourist sector buses and coaches, (c) taxis and (d) public sector transport for each of the host cities;

(3) whether these transport agencies/operators have been appraised of their roles and readiness; if not, why not; if so, (a) which ones and (b) what state of readiness exists in respect of each of those agencies/operators in percentage terms?

NW2534E

REPLY:

The Minister of Transport:

(1) The Department of Transport has requested that all Host Cities, as part of the development of their detailed operational plans, also include a risk assessment for all aspects of transport delivery for the event. The risk identification process has revealed that the current environment of cost escalations places a great risk on the completion of infrastructure projects. Host Cities will have to either scale down their projects, or drop some of them altogether, because of higher than expected tender prices.

(2) (a), (b), (c) and (d)

The Host Cities are currently developing their detailed operational plans and are so far not in a position to provide the detailed figures at city level. The first submission of Operational Plans was conceptual and did not cover that level of detail. The following figures are from the Initial National Transport Operational Plan (INTOP):-
