Section 6 Remuneration The authority to remunerate Government boards and committees derives from statutory provision or endorsement by Cabinet. The remuneration rate is recommended by the Public Sector Commissioner or, where provided by statute, the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal (SAT). The only case where SAT applies is for members of the Corruption and Crime Commission. Prior to the establishment of the Commission, the Minister for Public Sector Management (the Premier) advised on remuneration. In practice this role was previously delegated by the Premier to the Director General of the then Department of the Premier and Cabinet. This function is now performed by the Public Sector Commissioner. The purpose of the Commission's function of advising on remuneration rates is to promote consistency and relativity in remuneration of Government boards and committees. Guidelines for the reimbursement of travel expenses are contained in Public Sector Commissioner's Circular 2009-20. 6.1 Ineligible Members Boards and committees have members from diverse backgrounds, with some being full time employees in the public, private or non-government organisation sectors, some being part time public or private or non-government organisation employees, and some being not employed, including people who are retired. In line with the definition of a board or committee (Premiers Circular 2010/02), the following members of a Government board or committee are currently considered by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet to be ineligible to receive remuneration: members on the public payroll, including all current State, Commonwealth and Local Government employees (part time or full time); current employees of public academic institutions; and current and retired judicial officers. Former Members of Parliament who completed their parliamentary term and retired in the previous 12 months are eligible to sit on a board or committee they may be eligible if twelve or more months have passed since being in the Parliament. All others who sit on Government boards and committees are considered by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet to be potentially eligible for remuneration. 37
