SES administration
The Statutory and Other Offices
Remuneration Tribunal awarded
Chief Executive Officers and
Senior Executive Service Officers
an increase of 2.5 per cent in
remuneration packages.
This was applied in accordance
with the Tribunal’s determination
and instructions, along with
the Department of Premier
and Cabinet guidelines.
The applying of variances to
remuneration was considered
in light of the individual officer’s
performance. This consideration
included alignment of their
performance against their
performance agreement, which
related directly to the overall
organisational goals and objectives.
Payroll services
In line with government policy,
a transport shared services
framework was developed to
provide payroll services. Transport
Shared Services (TSS) now provides
standardised transaction processing
and value adding services
across the transport portfolio.
Development opportunities
During the transition to the
new organisational structure,
development opportunities
continued to be made available
to staff across the transport
portfolio. Many have arisen from
portfolio staff having had the
occasion to work collaboratively
in an interagency basis.
Financial assistance and
study time
TfNSW continues to provide staff
with access to financial assistance
for undertaking independent
studies that have a relevance to
their employment and/or career.

provided under the Transport
for New South Wales Award.
Recruitment
TfNSW continues to recruit. Most
recruitment to establish it was
completed in December 2011.
New governance and structural
arrangements were developed
in early 2012 to help create
efficient, effective and serviceoriented
Corporate and Shared
Services across the transport
cluster. Recruitment to fill roles
in them began in June 2012.
Industrial relations policies
and practices
TfNSW industrial relations
policies and procedures align
with the requirements of the
central agencies for public
service departments.
Communication and
consultation
TfNSW has a consultative
mechanism in place through the
Joint Consultative Committee in
accordance with the Department
of Premier and Cabinet
Consultative Arrangements.
